Successful companies you’ve never heard of

Bunzl, RELX and Mondi

Phil Waterhouse examines three successful but largely unknown firms that feature in the FTSE 100 list of the most valuable companies in the UK

Bunzl supplies food packaging and cleaning supplies

One of my passions is finding out about new and interesting businesses and bringing them to the attention of students. This goes to the heart of one of my favourite mantras — business is everywhere and a company does not have to be well known for it to be successful.

Bunzl is a highly profitable business that few people have heard of, yet we all make use of its services. The company specialises in providing cleaning and hygiene supplies, food packaging and carrier bags. Every time you visit a fast food restaurant you will pick up napkins, straws and other related items. Every time you buy a coffee or a tea, who supplied the disposable cup you are drinking from? The answer is almost certainly Bunzl.
