Awards for Excellence
Parween Warsi
Perween Warsi was fed up with the quality of Asian food in British supermarkets. Rather 'than tolerate curries that tasted of boiled plastic', she set up S&A Foods in 1987, and now supplies Asda and Safeway. The company employs 1000 people and has an annual turnover approaching £70 million. Perween Warsi, who is now Director of the company, started making finger foods for a local takeaway in her own kitchen in 1986. More and more orders started to flow in and she took on a couple of women to help her with the growing business. Soon there were five product lines and they were making hundreds of items a week. After 12 meteoric years S&A shows no sign of slowing down and there is an export business flourishing.
