Our Dunfermline ambient food warehouse spans 110,000 square feet, while our Telford chilled food warehouse covers 15,000 square feet, enabling us to hold ample stock for our diverse range of customers.

We are proud to take full responsibility for every aspect of the supply chain from supplier to retailer. Our team of over 150 dedicated employees across buying, customer service, finance and logistics work tirelessly to uphold our reputation for excellence.
