We're delighted to see valued Regency Purchasing Group member, Blend Family, recognised in The Sunday Times 100 Fastest-Growing Companies 2026, securing an impressive 40th place among Britain's fastest-growing private businesses.

The achievement marks another milestone in Blend Family's remarkable growth journey, which has seen the business expand from its first venue, Cutlery Works in Sheffield, to a portfolio of five thriving food halls and a new sports and social venue in Birmingham.

Founded by Matt Bigland and Nina Patel-Bigland, Blend Family has built its success on a clear vision: creating vibrant destinations centred around independent food operators, authentic experiences and strong community connections. That approach continues to resonate with consumers, helping drive growth across its sites in Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham and London.

Reflecting on the recognition, Matt Bigland said the accolade is a testament to the momentum the business has built and provides a platform for continued investment, expansion and support for independent food businesses.

The success of Blend Family highlights the continued strength of the food hall sector and the growing demand for experience-led hospitality concepts that bring communities together through great food and shared spaces.

Congratulations to Matt, Nina and the entire Blend Family team on this well-deserved recognition. We look forward to supporting their continued growth and success in the years ahead.
