How the story began...

Crucials was created in 2001, by Gabe & Len, two business partners who noticed a need for quality sauces in fast food establishments and chip shops. The first ever sauce was Hot Stuff which was filled by hand! Over time the secret spread with Crucials becoming more and more popular, driving the need for a factory. Slowly and as time went on the company began to supply wholesalers, retailers & supermarkets, received BRC accreditation and grew its range.
