Bidfood has announced the purchase of Elite Fine Foods, a foodservice supplier that delivers to more than 2,500 caterers across the UK.

Elite fine Foods joins Caterfood, South Lincs Foodservice and Cimandis in Bidfood’s network of independent businesses. 

Andrew Selley, chief executive of Bidfood said: “We’re delighted to welcome the team and customers of Elite Fine Foods to the Bidfood family. The company is already a thriving and profitable foodservice supplier in the UK, with a real passion for service which aligns perfectly with our mission to provide service excellence and make customers’ lives easier.

“Elite Fine Foods also offer their own butchery and fresh meat service, along with a fantastic range of fresh fish. This sits well within our decentralised model, where we can use our financial and strategic strength alongside their local expertise to offer customers the service and range they are looking for.”

Elite Fine Foods will continue to run the business under the same identity and culture, with no change to their service offering.

Graham Bell, managing director of Elite Fine Foods, added: “We’re excited to become part of the Bidfood family, and look forward to working with them to leverage their support and expertise to further strengthen our market-leading service, range, and proposition.  

“We will continue to service our customers as before, as an independent business, now supported by the strength of Bidfood.”
