The Company traded from rented premises in Sudbury which it outgrew as turnover increased, and in 2007 the director took the decision to build warehouse premises situated in Sudbury
Between 2009 and 2011, the Company purchased General Caters Associates and Alpha Frozen Foods Limited which enabled the Company to expand into the catering and frozen food market
