John Scott Labelling | Planglow

The Planglow Story

Back in the early Eighties, friends John Scott - a programmer - and salesman Phillip Saunders saw a gap in the market for labelling that any business could access. Phillip retired in 2000, meanwhile John - our much beloved MD - continued to head up the company until his retirement in 2023.

Planglow has always been a family business and this ethos remains today with John having passed the baton on to our four directors.

In 2016, our 30th year, John said:

I think much of our success can be attributed to our ability to identify and serve new markets helping the business to grow. What's more, because we value our customers they (like our staff) tend to stick with us and we've watched their businesses grow alongside ours.

This sentiment very much continues to ring true as we approach our 40th year.

What our customers say

We love our customers and they have some really nice things to say about us. But don't just take our word for it - check out what they've said about our team, products, and services.

Assistant Coffee Shop Manager, The National Space Centre
Planglow's plant-based products have helped to increase the perceived value of the offering. Customer service, delivery times, product quality and understanding of our business and customers are all excellent.

LabelLogic Live has allowed us to get ahead on allergen labelling. We can also add calorie values to meet CQUIN legislation. It does everything we need it to.

Owner, Campbell's Kitchen
Planglow's products are certainly a selling point when it comes to engaging new corporate clients as we're able to say our packaging is compostable, it makes it easier to convert an enquiry into a sale.
