Helping Greencore celebrate 100 years of history

As Greencore’s long-standing creative production partner, we were honoured when our team was asked to undertake a very special project.

In 2026, we created a limited-edition book to mark the organisation’s 100th anniversary, telling the story of Greencore from its origins in Ireland to becoming the UK’s leading producer of convenience foods.

“From the Ground Up” tells Greencore’s remarkable history through the reflections of the people who helped shape the organisation into what it is today. Bringing together senior creatives, copywriters, marketing specialists and print experts, the Ruddocks team managed the entire book design and production project from concept through to final delivery.

Following a detailed briefing and consultation process, we interviewed 35 contributors from across the organisation. Their stories became the heart of the book, capturing the experiences, memories and milestones that have shaped Greencore over the last century.

Working closely with Greencore’s communications team, we reviewed and carefully selected photography and archive material from across the business. These images helped bring each story to life, creating a publication that celebrates not only Greencore’s history, but the people behind it.
