Overview
Description
The company is a specialist wholesaler of foods, beverages and non-food products to the catering trade, working with a wide range of clients based across the Midlands.
Offering an extensive selection of products, including fresh meat, fruit and vegetables; frozen and chilled foods; beverages; ambient groceries; and non-food products, the company works with a number of established buying groups to offer high-quality products.
The shareholders are now offering the company for sale as they wish to spend more time with their families and are planning their exit strategies, whilst ensuring the continued prosperity of the business following their departure.
Key Highlights

– The industry has a significant barrier to entry, with a large capital investment in product range, freezers and multi-temperature delivery vehicles, along with a sizeable workforce, being required. As a well-established operation, the company already has these in place.
