Roberts of Port Dinorwic Returns to Growth With Significant Investment Planned for 2026

Roberts of Port Dinorwic, a long-established and trusted supplier of ready-to-cook meal components to leading QSR brands, pub and restaurant groups, and foodservice wholesalers, has announced a significant business turnaround.  

The transformation comes just eight months after investment from GIL Investments protecting the jobs of the 65 strong team and the key appointment of CEO Mark Rodgers.

An accomplished food industry leader with more than 30 years' experience driving operational excellence and sustainable growth, Rodgers has led a decisive programme of operational change, investment and cultural focus across the business, moving from a trading loss in 2025 back to profitability in 2026.

Over the past six months alone, Rodgers has identified and is in the process of finalising investment well in excess of £650,000 into key areas of the operation, reshaping its infrastructure, improving efficiencies and setting the business on a clear path back to profitability within the current financial year.

The company recently featured in the Alantra Fast 50 ranking putting it in the top 25 fastest growing private companies, despite challenging trading conditions and a cost-of-living crisis.

Customer satisfaction has risen sharply during this period, with complaints now at an all-time low, reflecting a renewed focus on quality, consistency and service delivery.

At the heart of the turnaround is a business with deep roots in North Wales and a strong sense of identity. Roberts of Port Dinorwic stands apart in its commitment to its people, operating without agency staff and instead employing a fully dedicated, loyal workforce.

Mark Rodgers, CEO, Roberts of Port Dinorwic, said: “We've worked hard to reset the business, and we've set things up to give ourselves a strong chance of hitting those growth targets. What's most encouraging is that complaints are trending at an all-time low and customer satisfaction is rising, which tells us we're moving in the right direction.

“Most importantly, we've got a fantastic team. There's a real family feel across the business, and that gives us a solid foundation to keep building from. We're in a great place to do more and to grow with confidence."

With a large-scale site and significant production capacity, Roberts of Port Dinorwic is now actively positioning itself as a strategic processing partner for the wider food industry. The business has the capability, space and infrastructure to support high-volume production, offering an attractive solution for brands looking to scale efficiently.

Backed by investment from GIL Investments, the company is entering a new phase of growth, with ambitions to expand its partnerships across QSR, hospitality and food manufacturing sectors.

This marks a vital, pivotal moment for Roberts of Port Dinorwic, as it builds on its heritage while embracing a more ambitious, growth-focused future.
