About Us

A professional and pro-active wholesaler can make such a difference.

We are a fifth-generation family-owned business based in Burnley, Lancashire. For over 80 years, we have been providing quality products and supreme customer service tailored to the needs of the caterer.

Our extensive range now boasts over 5,000 products, and our customer base includes caterers from the care, education and hospitality sectors. We offer something for every menu, from fresh produce and butchery to frozen food and ambient goods. Plus, we stock cleaning supplies and kitchen equipment too.

Next day delivery provides access to one of the most comprehensive, next-day delivery range of foods for caterers in the North of England and Wales; one vehicle – one delivery. Alongside our main depot in Burnley, we have satellite depots in Durham, Sheffield and Stoke-on-Trent, allowing us to deliver from Newcastle down to Birmingham.

We pride ourselves on providing unbeatable customer service and, unlike our national competitors, we have the flexibility and local knowledge to achieve this. What’s more, we offer bespoke events and large exhibitions for customers in our popular Training, Exhibition and Development (TED) suite.
