We deliver over 1.5 million award winning products from our fleet of 2000 trucks to thousands of restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, hospitals and care homes in every corner of the UK. Our customers count on us for exceptional food and service, and as our response to Covid-19 proved, our 6,000-strong workforce is dedicated and proud to play their vital part in feeding the nation. 1 in every 5 meals eaten out of the home is supplied by us!
We care about where our food comes from, which is why we offer complete traceability on all our products. Not to mention our commitment to responsible sourcing - from Red Tractor accredited meat, poultry and fruit and veg to MSC certified fish and seafood, every product in our extensive range has been developed by our food development chefs or chosen with chefs and their customers in mind, making sure we deliver quality and taste with every bite.
We also care about our environment and have launched a new initiative to contribute to a reduction in emissions in London with the use of a cleaner-burning, more efficient fuel, created by Shell.
We're big on inclusion, diversity and belonging too - we celebrate diversity and take pride in building our inclusive culture that enables all of our colleagues to bring their whole-selves to work.
