The Real Good Food Company has made a successful meal out of what larger food companies pushed off their plates. The Real Good Food company has been built up by the acquisition of smaller manufacturers that belonged to high-end convenience food makers who sold them off since they were no longer considered "core operations" -- some six since 2003. It's been a sweet tasty ride. Real Good Food's sugar products are made by subsidiary Renshawnapier. Its baking ingredients operations are under the purview of its Haydens Bakeries subsidiary, which makes yeast-dough products. Real Good's large retail customers include Waitrose and Marks and Spencer.
