How do you define your Members as still independently run?
In today’s challenging economy, we ultimately believe our structure will help our Members to continue to grow and thrive, while protecting their individuality, values and customer relationships. Our group ownership structure brings support, investment and business benefits, such as knowledge sharing and larger purchasing power. Together, we can offer our customers a fantastic service, exceptional products and great prices - to help make amazing experiences.
The best thing about offering an alternative ownership structure for independently run foodservice businesses is that we ultimately offer a gateway for founders who have built up a fantastic business and want to take that business forward to the next level - but can’t do so alone.
It’s about working together to preserve these great companies and achieve more for our customers and their customers. Each Caterfood Buying Group Member has its own Managing Director and Senior Leadership Team and is responsible for the day-to-day running of their business and all local decision making.
