Well, what a week that has been!
After our fantastic Conference and Awards on Tuesday, we find out today that we’ve hit another high. And this one is a really surreal experience.
We’re absolutely delighted, and a little humbled, to share that Blend Family has been ranked no. 40 in The Sunday Times 100, the annual list of Britain’s 100 fastest-growing private businesses.
It’s recognition that simply reflects our growth, built on a simple yet distinctive model: regenerating underused urban buildings, bringing together 12–20 independent chefs as Food Partners under one roof, and creating spaces that genuinely serve their communities.

We’re absolutely delighted, and a little humbled, to share that Blend Family has been ranked no. 40 in The Sunday Times 100, the annual list of Britain’s 100 fastest-growing private businesses.
It’s recognition that simply reflects our growth, built on a simple yet distinctive model: regenerating underused urban buildings, bringing together 12–20 independent chefs as Food Partners under one roof, and creating spaces that genuinely serve their communities.
From our first food hall in Sheffield to five sites nationally, and more in the pipeline, that model hasn’t changed. Great food, authentic people, and spaces that belong to the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Co-Founders Matt Bigland and Nina Patel-Bigland said: “What this ranking really reflects is the hard work of hundreds of people — our Food Partners, our teams, and the communities who’ve embraced what we’re building. Blend Family is about great food and great people, and this recognition is a testament to everyone who makes the business what it is. We are just getting started.”
