A can of Monster Energy, a packet of Fox’s biscuits, a bottle of Huel powder: three very different bets on how Britain eats and drinks now – and this year, all three paid off. Across the UK’s 150 biggest food and drink suppliers, the same held true. Despite a year of flip-flopping tariffs, wars in the Middle East and scorching summer temperatures, the businesses that worked out what shoppers actually wanted kept growing regardless.

That’s the headline finding of this year’s OC&C top 150 food and drink suppliers report, which ranks the UK’s largest manufacturers. On this year’s list, the vast majority (77%) grew their revenues, with more than a quarter (28%) growing sales by more than 10%.
