Sharwood's is a British food company established in 1889 and acquired by RHM in 1963, which was then merged in to Premier Foods in March 2007.
The company produces Indian, Chinese and South East Asian food and ingredients. They produce many cooking sauces, 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 2007 they claim to have 28% of the ambient Asian market in Britain, and that 46% of sales are from sauces. [1]
In August 2010 Sharwood's teamed up with Joanna Lumley to develop a limited edition Mango Chutney with Kashmiri Chilli – an ingredient from her birthplace. Sharwood’s will donate 10p from each jar sold to the Gurkha Welfare Trust.[2]
