Bury-based wholesaler Dunsters Farm has acquired fellow foodservice provider The Little Food Company.
The acquisition of the business, which has a strong customer base in the education sector, comes as Dunsters Farm looks to expand its offer to customers.
“We’re extremely excited to welcome The Little Food Company to the Dunsters Farm family. There is a lot of synergy between our companies regarding customer base and geographical coverage and both companies will benefit from the collaboration,” said Dunsters Farm MD Hannah Barlow.
“The Little Food Company has a wealth of experience in the frozen sector which will enable us to launch a brand-new category to our customers over the coming months. In turn, we look forward to supporting The Little Food Company with their plans to extend their product range, further improving their offer for their customers.”
The Little Food Company operations director Mark Keats will stay on to manage day-to-day operations, joining the Dunsters Farm senior management team.
“This is an exciting chapter offering enormous potential for both businesses. We look forward to sharing our expertise in the frozen sector and being part of Dunsters Farm’s ambitious growth plans,” said Keats.
The move comes as Dunsters Farm recently joined the Caterforce buying group, leaving Confex in a move it said would increase its range for customers.
