PJs supply to a wide selection of organisations including universities, colleges, schools, The NHS, retail units, in-flight caterers, stadiums, councils, and sporting events. PJs operate from a purpose-built high-care / low-risk factory in Glasgow employing 85 staff locally. With distribution to the Scottish region, PJs produce approximately 85,000 to 90,000 products per week including sandwiches and salad bowls.
Mark Salisbury, director at Tiffin Sandwiches, said: “We are delighted with the acquisition of PJ’s Foods. This strategic move adds to our current facilities in England and Wales and strengthens our commitment to delivering quality products throughout the UK.”
