Founded in 1902 by William Dean and now led by his great-granddaughter, Sarah Dean, Noble Foods has evolved into a leading name in UK food production, spanning foods, milling, poultry, agriculture, logistics and green energy.
Under Sarah’s ownership, Noble Foods upholds a commitment to empowering women throughout the agricultural sector, both within the company and in the wider industry. Its portfolio includes trusted brands like the UK’s No.1 egg brand, the happy egg co., alongside the award-winning Freshlay Farms Golden Yolkers and Purely Organic, each representing the company’s dedication to quality, innovation, and high animal welfare standards.
With the recent launch of its new food manufacturing hub in Leicester, Noble Foods continues to advance sustainable and value-added product development, while supporting women in every part of its operations—from production floors to executive roles. Celebrating over a century of heritage and progress, Noble Foods is committed to fostering a workplace where women thrive, honoring its past while shaping a more inclusive future in food and agriculture.
