The company was set up in 2000 by two parents, Ian Ding and Paul Newberry.

The business started small but now employs more than 90 people in purpose-built premises in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. Stream Foods now produces more than 20 products and are now the UK market leaders in natural fruit snacks. The company has benefited greatly from the government's 5 A Day initiative.

Grove Organic Fruit Co is the leading UK brand of 100% certified Pure Organic fruit juices and beverages. Started in 1994 by John Taylor, Grove Fresh as the brand was known then worked hard to persuade farmers to grow organic fruit for the brand. The organic sector has grown enormously over the past decade and Grove retains over 60% market share in the category. More recently, the brand has undergone a major overhaul and Grove Organic Fruit Co was born. New pure juices and beverages have since been launched to meet growing demand from loyal organic consumers.
