The former Wimbledon champion visited Albert Bartlett’s Airdrie base on Wednesday, October 28, where he was given a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility.
Murray, who became an ambassador for the family-owned potato company last year, met staff from across the business and learned more about their roles.

During the visit, he also surprised a group of school pupils who were at the site on work experience.
Speaking after the tour, Murray said: “It was great to meet some more of the team from different roles in the Albert Bartlett business, and hear how many of them have been at the company for so long.
“They are all so passionate and knowledgeable about the products they help produce.
“I really enjoyed the factory tour and couldn’t believe how many potatoes they process each day!”
The Airdrie visit formed part of a day of activity between Murray and Albert Bartlett, with the company teasing further activity involving the tennis star later in the afternoon.
Murray joined forces with Albert Bartlett as an ambassador in 2025, with the partnership focused on promoting good food, family mealtimes and the company’s produce.

He has since been involved in a number of the brand’s campaigns, including its Bring Out Your Best Side campaign.
Albert Bartlett was founded in 1948 after Albert Bartlett relocated from Belfast to Glasgow to work in the shipyards.
He later began boiling beetroot in a neighbour’s garden shed in Coatbridge to earn extra money for his family.
The business has since grown into a fourth-generation family-owned company and is now headquartered in Airdrie.
It produces fresh, chilled and frozen potato products and works with around 100 independent farmers across the UK.
