H.B.S. Foods Ltd. was formed in 1990.  The then company directors had worked in the edible nut industry for many years.  In 1994, the company relocated from its Tipton-based factory in the West Midlands, to its new purpose-built factory in Netherton, just North of Birmingham.  This factory is located close to the motorway network, which enables ease of distribution throughout the United Kingdom.

In 1999, one of the founding directors of H.B.S. Foods Ltd. retired, and the company was taken over completely by the Hopcraft family – a husband and wife team, later joined by one of their sons. The company progressed with the usual growing pains over the next few years. achieving BRC (British Retail Consortium) 'A Grade' accreditation. Currently, H.B.S. Foods Ltd. has over 40 employees and produces around 3000 tonnes of processed material each year, leading to a turnover in excess of £10 million.
