“Marks & Spencer is a favourite with Scottish families, much like our pies. We know that our customers will be thrilled to see them on the shelves.”

Based in Shotts, Lanarkshire, Bells Food Group is a third-generation family business, established in 1931, employing more than 200 people across three sites.

Bells Food Group is Scotland’s number one pie brand and it is estimated that 10 per cent of the nation’s population eat at least one Bells pie each every week.
