Since incorporation, the Group has grown by way of acquisition in addition to organic sales growth, now consisting of eight family-owned companies operating within the food services and hospitality sectors. The Group specialises specifically in the provision and distribution of a variety of breads and flatbreads and most recently acquired one of its key competitors, APB, in December 2014.
