Fiddes Payne is a privately-owned company with the majority of shares held by the White family. Chris White purchased the company in 1993 with Lord Aylesford and Philip Smith. Chris is a passionate foodie and highly creative and curious individual. Most of the early successes came from Chris’s passion, lateral thinking and his drive to delight customers. He did this by bringing ground breaking innovation, creativity and novel products and packaging to the market
In 2009, Ben White, Chris's eldest son, invested £2.5m in Fiddes Payne to allow management to accelerate the business. Ben and his brother Jos have achieved great business success outside of Fiddes Payne by creating and ultimately selling MessageLabs to Symantec for $695m. In 2008. Jon Sutton, a partner at Dixon Wilson also invested in the business and assists with strategic financial advice. The Board remains very active in the business. The business is both well-funded and enjoys active shareholder participation in its growth.
