Supplying the UK and Europe
More than 6,000 product lines, sourced from over 150 countries, for foodservice, manufacturing, retail and wholesale customers.
The third generation at the helm.
The grandchildren of our founders now run the business day to day. The approach hasn’t changed: know every customer, keep the shelves full and price fairly.
As an independent wholesaler we champion smaller operators. Many of our customers are independent caterers and shops who have traded with us for decades.
