____________________________________________________________________________________ Bombay Halwa Limited
The origins of Bombay Halwa Limited can be credited to the renowned UK-based businessman and entrepreneur , the late Lord Noon Kt , MBE . He had founded and operated several major food manufacturing companies in London , specializing in ready meals , Indian sweets , savories , and aviation catering . Lord Noon was the Founder Chairman and Managing Director of Bombay Halwa Limited , a leading manufacturer of authentic Indian sweets , snacks , dairy products and a major provider for aviation catering . As a boy , Lord Noon worked in his grandfather ’ s shops in Bombay , before taking them over at the age of 17 and changing their name to Royal Sweets . In the early 1970s , he came to the UK with £ 50 in his pocket and set up a new business , Bombay Halwa Limited , opening a shop in Southall , London . Zeenat Harnal , the current Chairperson at Bombay Halwa Limited and daughter of the late Lord Noon Kt , MBE , retraces the company ’ s journey from that point .
“ Family-owned and run , our ethnic foods company was founded in 1973 by my father , Lord Noon . Starting out with a handful of employees , we have since progressed to having second and third generations of the same families as part of our workforce . Our staff are on board with everything we do , as we firmly believe that by looking after our employees , they will reciprocate that care towards us . Fifty years ago , we opened our very first outlet on The Broadway in Southall , London , and it has since grown entirely organically . Originally , we operated from two sites located on Bridge Road and Merrick Road in Southall . Following a business restructuring in May 2017 , all our operations moved to the Bridge Road facility , where we introduced a brand new , purpose-built factory for the production of onion puree .
