Meet the Team with Len Gould

October 28, 2024

Next up in our ‘Meet the Team’ series, it’s Len Gould, Head of Purchasing at Caterfood Buying Group.

With over 25 years of experience in the food and drink industry, Len is our expert in supplier relations, product knowledge, and production processes.

A skilled negotiator, Len is renowned for his 'firm but fair' approach to business. His ability to cultivate and maintain productive relationships with our suppliers is essential in forging mutually beneficial deals, that distinguish Caterfood Buying Group from the competition.


Len also plays a crucial role in developing our exclusive Caterfood Collection own-brand offering; selecting products for taste-testing and review, and ensuring that we have the highest standards for our range. Outside of work, Len spends most of his time with his two black Labradors; Ozzy and Daisy, and enjoys getting outdoors in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, where he lives. Len also loves to travel, cook and sing.

A legend in many circles, Len is a fantastic part of our Central Team - and what Len doesn’t know about the industry, probably isn’t worth knowing!
