ABOUT US

FOODMAKER

At Foodmaker, we know what matters most: seasoning blends that work first time, every time.

We work fast — getting samples to you quickly, developing seasonings that perform consistently in production, and offering clear, practical support every step of the way.

Our BRCGS AA accreditation is more than a certificate — it’s your assurance of quality, safety, and full traceability in every batch. For decades, we’ve partnered with manufacturers to overcome production challenges, accelerate development, and achieve business goals without compromising on flavour.

With real experience in kitchens and on factory floors, we know the pressures you face. That’s why we create blends you can rely on — so you can focus on everything else.

OUR HISTORY

Adding Value to Food Since 1983

We began in 1983 as McCauley Edwards — just a few bold blends, a couple of mixers (with a helping hand from Trevor Wicklow at Scobie & Junor), and one simple belief: Seasonings should work as well as they taste.



We quickly set the standard, becoming the first UK seasoning manufacturer to achieve BS5750 Part II certification — passing on our very first attempt. That focus on quality and compliance still drives everything we do today, giving you confidence in every batch.



Foodmaker has grown over the years, but we’ve stayed true to who we are: curious, flavour-obsessed, and blending with purpose — seasonings that don’t just taste good, but perform where it matters: in your products, your process, and your market.



Today we are proudly part of the Scobie & Junor Group — a family business with a heritage stretching back to 1919 — we’ve always shared the same values of quality, trust, and flavour done properly.



That spirit lives on - still mixing, still learning, and still creating blends that earn their place in your kitchen and on your line.

OUR CORE VALUES

Family & People First - We’re a family business at heart, and our people are central to everything we do. We invest in their wellbeing, growth, and safety — because great teams make great flavour.

Partnership -We build long-term, collaborative relationships with our customers — listening, supporting, and delivering together.

Flavour with Performance- Our seasoning blends combine bold, distinctive taste and functionality with the technical reliability that keeps production smooth and consistent.

Quality with Integrity-Grounded in BRCGS AA standards, retailer approvals, and full traceability, we do things the right way — with honesty, safety, and trust at the core.

SUSTAINABILITY

At Foodmaker, we believe food should be good for people, the planet, and the communities we serve.

Our sustainability promise is built around three core pillars: People, Planet, and Product. These guide our actions across sourcing, production, and innovation — ensuring progress is both meaningful and measurable.

To strengthen this commitment, we are aligning our strategy with Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. By addressing direct operations (Scope 1), purchased energy (Scope 2), and our wider value chain (Scope 3), we’re taking a holistic approach to reducing our environmental footprint.

This integration ensures that sustainability isn’t just an aspiration — it’s embedded in every stage of our business and the partnerships we build.
