Andrew Selley, CEO of Bidcorp UK, said: “Caterfood Buying Group continues to go from strength-to-strength and the addition of Turner Price will further cement the groups’ position within the industry.
“This latest acquisition is in line with the Bidcorp UK strategy to continue to grow the buying group side to national coverage, as well as increasing our network of manufacturing businesses, following our recent acquisition of Northern Bloc Ice Cream Limited earlier this month. The growth in these areas will allow us to continue to deliver service excellence to our customers and provide them with real added value.”
Philip Atyeo, managing director of Caterfood Buying Group, commented: “It is fantastic to welcome the Turner Price team into Caterfood Buying Group, a growing network of independent businesses which includes Thomas Ridley Foodservice, Harvest Fine Foods, Nichol Hughes, Elite Fine Foods, Caterfood, South Lincs Foodservice and Cimandis.
