The Company was incorporated in January 2001 and was a holding company until November 2005 when it commenced trading following the sale of a subsidiary

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
