As McBride grows and evolves, new projects and ways of working bring opportunities for our business. They also affect the people who make them happen every day.

That’s why we’ve launched our in-house Change Management Community of Practice, bringing together members from across McBride’s functions and locations.

Its mission is to build a connected and capable community that strengthens how change is led and delivered. Through shared learning, practical support and consistent ways of working, members will help colleagues adopt new approaches and make them stick.

The community is led by Jeary, Organisational Change Manager, Cronin, our Executive Sponsor and Chief Human Resources Officer. Cockram, Transformation Director, is also supporting the community as it takes shape.

Members have completed training and have access to its tools and resources. They’ll share what works, learn from challenges and help teams consider the impact of change on people early - because even the best new process doesn’t come with an ‘everyone’s on board’ button.

It’s Always Committed in practice: supporting our people from the first conversation through to the point where a new way of working becomes part of everyday work.

We’re pleased to share that 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗱, McBride’s Group Head of Sustainability, will join an impressive line-up of industry experts at PLMA’s Annual Private Label Summit in Manchester on 28 - 29 October.

The Summit will bring together leaders from across the UK and European grocery market to explore the trends shaping private label - from changing consumer expectations and retail strategies to sustainability, technology and AI.

They help us stay close to the issues affecting our customers, share our expertise and learn from other leading voices across the industry.

Helen said:
“There’s a lot changing across private label, from what customers and consumers expect to how we approach sustainability and new technology. Events like this give us the chance to step back from the day-to-day, hear different perspectives and have honest conversations about the challenges and opportunities ahead. I’m looking forward to representing McBride, learning from others across the industry and bringing some useful insights back to our teams.”
As one of Europe’s leading private label and contract manufacturers, it’s important that McBride is part of these conversations - helping to shape what comes next.
We’re looking forward to sharing ideas, making new connections and, naturally, 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀. 🧽

Our fifth Employee Voice Survey launched in October, with a sixth survey planned for May 2027 as part of our commitment to gather colleague feedback twice this financial year.

Colleagues across McBride see our business from perspectives that no single report or meeting could capture. Their feedback helps us understand what matters to them and where we should focus our efforts.

We make cleaning products, but we’re not here to sweep feedback under the rug.

A brilliant night for a brilliant cause

Last night, ten of our McBride colleagues swapped the day job for their glad rags to attend the Mustard Tree Fundraising Ball 2026 in Manchester.

The evening brought together businesses and supporters to celebrate Mustard Tree’s work across Greater Manchester – and, most importantly, raise vital funds to help combat poverty and prevent homelessness.

Representing McBride were Catherine Bott, Matthew Caunt, Sean Pennicott, Sonia Green, Georgina O’Connor, Naveen Gautam, Bo Downes, Andrew Ratcliffe, Ruksana Dar and Rachel Yarwood.

But our relationship with Mustard Tree goes beyond one evening. Through our UK volunteering programme, colleagues give their time to support the charity and the communities it serves.

Did you know? 🌍
Across McBride, each of our sites has a volunteering scheme supporting a local organisation focused on helping people experiencing poverty. It means our colleagues can give something back where it matters most - right in the communities where we live and work.

From volunteering time to supporting events like last night’s Ball, it’s all part of bringing one of our McBride values to life: working together to make a difference.

£100,000 was raised on the night – a fantastic result for an incredibly important cause.

A huge thank you to Mustard Tree for having us - and to everyone who helped make the evening such a success. 👏

You may have spotted some exciting McBride news recently…
We’ve entered into a major strategic partnership with 𝗘.𝗛. 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗕.𝗩. (“𝗩𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘆”) - the global home care company behind brands including Air Wick, Calgon, Cillit Bang and Mortein.

The long-term supply agreements will see McBride manufacture household cleaning and laundry products for some of Europe’s best-known home care brands.
At maturity, the agreements - alongside other contracts being signed in parallel - are expected to contribute around 𝗚𝗕𝗣 𝟭𝟳𝟬𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲, growing McBride Group revenues by approximately 𝟭𝟱%.

This week, we welcomed 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗻 to McBride as our new 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻.

Daniel brings more than 25 years of manufacturing experience, predominantly within the food and beverage industry. He has previously worked for Heineken, PepsiCo and Huhtamaki across Europe, Africa and the Americas.

Alongside his manufacturing expertise, Daniel brings particular experience in continuous improvement and employee engagement. He is looking forward to meeting the Middleton team, hearing their views and working together to identify the areas that will help drive further improvements in performance.

Daniel said:

“Why did I join McBride? The people I met throughout the interview process and during the shopfloor tour spoke with real passion about the business - and, in particular, the future of the Middleton site.
“I believe my background is a strong match for both the current and future opportunities at Middleton, and I’m looking forward to getting started.”

Welcome to McBride, Daniel - we hope you’ve had a fantastic first week! 👋

Polishing our processes: things are getting Real(ise) in Belgium…

Following the deployment of SAP S/4HANA across our UK sites last November, we quickly turned our attention to Europe - and Wave 2 is now well underway in Belgium.

It’s part of a significant investment in how McBride operates - using technology to streamline processes, connect our operations and build a more efficient business ready to support continued growth.

Last week, our programme team joined colleagues across our Belgian sites for Realise - the next phase of our S/4HANA journey.

From change and training to User Acceptance Testing and go-live support, teams got stuck in - with live demos bringing S/4HANA to life.
But investing in technology is only half the story. Bringing our people with us matters just as much.

Combining our local teams’ knowledge with the experience of our programme team - and everything we’ve learned from Wave 1 - brings one of our McBride values to life: working together to make a difference.

Smarter technology. Simpler processes. And our people at the heart of it.

Not a bad way to get Real(ise) underway in Belgium.

A clean sweep on the Pennine Way 🥾💚

Last weekend, 24 McBride colleagues from our UK sites swapped production lines, laptops and all things cleaning for walking boots, taking on the Pennine Way to raise money for Mustard Tree.

Together, they clocked up 648km (that’s roughly the equivalent of walking the length of the Pennine Way to Hadrian’s Wall - and back!) and raised an incredible £930 (plus £200 in gift aid) to support Mustard Tree’s work helping people facing poverty and homelessness across Greater Manchester.

Even better, our very own McBride Charitable Trust will match the amount raised, doubling the impact of the team’s efforts. 💚

There’s still time to donate too! If you’d like to support the team and help push that total even higher, you can donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/mcbridegroupcharitywalk

Giving back to the communities around us matters at McBride, particularly when it means supporting organisations helping people build more secure futures.

There were hills, tired legs and probably a few muddy boots along the way - but plenty of Working Together too.

A huge thank you to everyone who walked, organised, donated and supported the challenge.

A brilliant effort for a brilliant cause. Now, about those muddy boots… 🫧

Today we announced our Full Year results for the twelve months to 30 June 2026.

McBride delivered a year of resilient performance amid external cost pressures against a backdrop of macroeconomic volatility and geopolitical tensions, retaining firm control operationally and in cost level management.

Positive win rates, new laundry and dishwash product categories and key partnership launches drove the Group’s commercial performance this year.

Our markets continue to see private label growth, ensuring resilient demand for our leading, high-quality and excellent value products and expertise.
Delivering value to our shareholders remains central to our business strategy, as demonstrated by £18m in total distributions returned to investors during the period.

Post period-end, we strengthened our European Unit Dosing leadership through the EPS-accretive acquisition of Eurotab and secured a transformational contract manufacturing partnership with Vestacy - together driving progress toward our 10% EBITDA margin target and a projected 15% increase in Group revenue and earnings by early 2028.
