Business description
This company was established in 2002 and initially provided sandwiches and some soft drinks to companies on local trading estates. It quickly became apparent to the owner that a better return on capital and effort would be made if the route to market was to supply garages, shops and educational establishments.

By adopting this strategy the business has grown year on year and now supplies around thirty local retailers within a thirty mile radius of the business. More importantly the company has a number of written contracts to supply the Emergency services, Civic Centres, and schools. The contracts have a minimum of three years to run and are worth between £100,000 and £250,000. A new three year contract starting in the near future will add an additional £400,000 of turnover per annum. The business has recently been nominated for a National Business Award.
