Harrisons Sauces have been a staple in kitchens for years, known for bold flavours, versatility and reliability across everything from home-cooked favourites to takeaway classics.
But there’s much more to the brand than what you see on the bottle. Its story spans decades of British manufacturing, changing food trends, family heritage and a growing range of sauces enjoyed across the UK.
Here are 10 facts that show there’s a lot more to Harrisons than what’s on the label.
1. Harrisons Sauces Began as a Family Business
Long before Harrisons sauces appeared in your favourite takeaway, the business began as a family venture built on hard work, persistence and a passion for good food.
In the early days, recipes were developed by hand, refined over time, and shared with customers who kept coming back for more. While the business has grown significantly since then, the family values behind it remain unchanged.
Today, three generations later, that same focus on flavour, quality, and customer relationships continues to shape everything we do.
2. Three Generations Have Helped Shape the Company
Harrisons’ story stretches back to the 1960s, when the current CEO’s grandparents first established the business. Sauces became part of the company in the early 1980s, before the Harrisons brand developed into what we know today.
Three generations later, it remains in the same family, with each generation playing a part in moving the company forward while protecting what made it successful in the first place.
3. Proudly Solar Powered
In April 2026, Harrisons installed solar panels across its Loughborough head office and manufacturing site.
Today, production, packing, and day-to-day operations are supported by renewable energy generated on-site, helping reduce reliance on traditional energy sources while supporting a more sustainable future.
It's one of the latest investments in the business and reflects a commitment to continuous improvement behind the scenes.
4. A Commitment to Quality Ingredients
At the heart of every Harrisons recipe is a focus on straightforward, dependable ingredients.
Flavour comes from balance rather than unnecessary complexity. We're also committed to using non-genetically modified ingredients across the range.
For many customers, knowing what goes into their food matters just as much as how it tastes. That's why we focus on ingredients that work hard in everyday cooking and deliver flavour you can rely on.
5. Supporting Grassroots Football
Harrisons has always been rooted in family and community.
From coaching children’s football teams to supporting grassroots football around Loughborough, the brand has proudly sponsored local sides over the years, including Loughborough Lions in their black and yellow kit, and Riverside United Junior U7 Falcons in blue. It’s a small but important reflection of the people behind the business and the community that surrounds it.
6. A Diverse Range of Flavours
While many people first discover Harrisons through our classic sauces, the range has expanded considerably over the years.
Today you'll find everything from smoky BBQ sauces and creamy mayonnaises to relishes, dressings, burger sauces and spicy favourites like Sriracha Mayo.
Many products are also suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences, including vegan and gluten-free options, helping more people enjoy bold flavour without compromise.
7. Made, Packed and Shipped in the Midlands
Everything at Harrisons starts and stays in the UK.
From production in our factory to packing and dispatch, it's all handled by our team right here in the Midlands. Our head office in Loughborough remains the centre of day-to-day operations, from product development through to customer service and fulfilment.
Keeping things close gives us greater control over quality, consistency and service, helping ensure every order leaves exactly as it should.
8. Harrisons Sauces Are Enjoyed Around the World
What began as a family-run British sauce brand now reaches kitchens far beyond the UK.
Harrisons products are supplied internationally, with growing demand across the Gulf region where customers value bold flavours, trusted quality, and versatile foodservice products.
Proof that great flavour travels well.
9. Shelf Life That Works For You
One of the practical benefits of Harrisons sauces is the shelf life.
Most products are manufactured with a 12-month shelf life and are supplied with a minimum of nine months from dispatch, making them ideal for both home kitchens and professional catering environments.
That means you can keep your favourite flavours stocked and ready whenever they're needed.
10. A Community of Recipe Creators
One of the most enjoyable parts of working with Harrisons is seeing how the sauces are used in real kitchens. That’s something we’ve explored more closely through our collaboration with Jacks Meat Shack, where each recipe is built around flavour, balance, and how the sauce supports the dish rather than taking it over.
It’s a reminder that good cooking doesn’t need to be complicated. With the right ingredients, even familiar meals can be pushed a little further.
