Sharwoods
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sharwoods is a British food company establsihed in 1889 and acquired by RHM in 1963.
The company produces Indian, Chinese and other South East Asian food and ingredients. They produce many cooking sauses, which usually come in a recognisable square shape jar, and also curry pastes and powders, pappadoms, naan breads, noodles, prawn crackers as well as ready meals. They hold the largest market share in Britain in this range. As of 2006 they claim to have 28% of the ambient Asain market in Britain, and that 46% of sales are from sauses.
In 2006 a television advert for the Sharwood's brand uses a parody of the song Go West by the Pet Shop Boys. The advert has Asian looking colourful images and over Asian sounding music singing "Go East" to the tune of "Go West".
