Greggs Celebrates 40 Year Listing on the London Stock Exchange

We are proud to celebrate our 40^th anniversary as a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange.

Greggs floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1984 with a market capitalisation of £15 million and an estate of just over 260 shops. The business was then a traditional, decentralised bakery business with a mostly northern footprint. Today, we have grown into a leading food-on-the-go retailer with more than 2,500 shops across the UK and approximately 32,000 employees.

To celebrate the milestone, our chief executive, Roisin Currie, closed the market during an event held at the London Stock Exchange on the afternoon of Tuesday 30 July. The Market Close event was attended by a handful of individuals who have been instrumental at different points in our history.

This 40 year milestone achievement is in no small part a result of the hard work and dedication of our colleagues, who have been instrumental in our journey over the years. We thank all our colleagues, customers, and shareholders for their continued support and look forward to many more years of success.
