UK's Noble Foods buys local peer Just Egg
UK-based egg supplier Noble Foods has acquired domestic peer Just Egg as part of a strategy to expand its 'added-value' range. Noble Foods is buying the business from Pankaj Pancholi and his family, who set up the company in 2003. It specialises in shell eggs for the retail channel, along with hard-boiled and poached varieties, as well as mayonnaise. Pancholi said in a joint statement with Nobel Foods: 'This business has been my life's work and I'm incredibly proud of what our team has achieved. As I step back, I do so with confidence knowing Just Egg is joining Noble Foods – a company that shares our values and passion for quality." In a LinkedIn post, Pancholi added: '[The] last 10 years have been a rollercoaster ride but we held our head above water, defying all odds." Noble Foods described Just Egg as a 'natural fit' for the group and said the deal - struck for an undisclosed sum - 'supports our long-term strategy to grow and diversify, bringing new capabilities that strengthen how we serve our customers and develop our business'. Duncan Everett, the CEO of Noble Foods, said in the same statement: 'The business Pankaj and his team have built is one we deeply respect, and we're committed to preserving the quality, service and care their customers value so highly.' In a LinkedIn post, Everett said the deal brings in 'new technologies, capabilities and customers as we continue to grow and develop Noble Foods'. Just Egg operates from a 15,000 square-foot 'purpose-built' facility in North Leicester, which includes a designated office, storage and processing areas. Nobel Foods has recently invested in its own capabilities. Last year, it invested in an 'added-value" manufacturing site in Leicestershire for a new range of prepared egg products. The company's added value business head Will Cadbury told Just Food at the time it intended to spend a 'multi-million' sum over 'the next few years' at the facility. The 10,000 square-meter plant was set up to produce a range of foods such as omelettes, egg bites, and frittatas. In its most-recent accounts filed with Companies House, Noble Foods reported a £11.7m ($15.8m) loss after tax and a turnover of £290.3m for the year ended 29 September 2023. The company said the figures represented the 'results of a challenging year' from 'significant' cost inflation and supply chain disruptions in a 'volatile' macroeconomic environment. In 2022, it recorded a £13.5m loss with a turnover of £269.1m. "UK's Noble Foods buys local peer Just Egg" was originally created and published by Just Food, a GlobalData owned brand.

Kesari Veer Advance Booking: Sooraj Pancholi's historical action drama sells 1000 tickets ahead of release
After four years, actor Sooraj Pancholi will be back on the big screens with Kesari Veer. The upcoming historical action film is slated to be released on May 23, 2025. It stars Pancholi in the lead role as fearless warrior Hamirji Gohil, along with Suniel Shetty and Vivek Oberoi in key roles. As the pre-sales of Kesari Veer have already opened, let's take a look at the update on its advance bookings. Jointly helmed by Prince Dhiman and Kanubhai Chauhan, Kesari Veer will clash with Bhool Chuk Maaf and Kapkapiii at the box office. With a day to go for its release, the period drama has sold 1,000 advance tickets in top national chains, including PVR Inox and Cinepolis in pre-sales. The performance of the Sooraj Pancholi starrer will depend on the walk-ins on the day of its release. As per expectations, Kesari Veer is likely to have a dull opening at the box office. It is estimated to open in the range of Rs 1 crore to Rs 2 crore. The slow start will be credited to its poor sales for the opening day. Kesari Veer, which features actors like Vivek Oberoi, Suniel Shetty, and Akanksha Sharma, lacks star power and hype for it to be able to sustain itself well amid parallel runs. Apart from Bhool Chuk Maaf and Kapkapiii, the historical movie will also compete with Raid 2, Mission Impossible 8 and Final Destination: Bloodlines. Co-produced by Rajen Chauhan, Heena Chauhan, Suhraj Chauhan and Ohm Chauhan, Kesari Veer marks the theatrical comeback of Sooraj Pancholi after four years. Pancholi was last seen in the 2021 release, Time to Dance. Sooraj Pancholi's other movies are Hero (2015) and Satellite Shankar (2019). He has worked in four movies in his career so far. All of his previous releases have been unsuccessful at the box office. Out of all of them, his debut movie, Hero, remains the highest opener of his filmography. It earned Rs 6.75 crore on its opening day back then. Kesari Veer follows the untold story of a brave warrior, Hamirji Gohil, who fought against the Tughlaq Empire to save Somnath Temple. The film was earlier scheduled to be released on May 16, 2025. However, it was later postponed to May 23, 2025. Are you planning to watch Kesari Veer in theaters?
