Poultry producer completes acquisition of wholesale food supplier Central Foods

Gordon Lauder, co-founder and managing director of Central Foods.

FOOD producer the Gressingham Group of Companies has completed its acquisition of Northampton-based wholesale frozen food supplier Central Foods.

Founders Gordon and Alison Lauder will remain as directors of the business. However, Gordon will step back as managing director after 28 years, to be replaced by Central Foods’ current commercial manager Oli Sampson.

“We are excited to bring Central Foods into the Gressingham Group,” said group director William Buchanan.  “The business opens up a new market category for us and its reputation for excellent products and service complements our existing presence in the food service sector.

“We look forward to continuing to make frozen food wholesalers’ lives easier.”

The Lauders founded Central Foods in 1996. Today the company supplies more than 200 independent wholesalers, as well as larger national and regional wholesalers, and is a catering partner to fast food outlets, hotels, restaurants, bars, universities, schools, pubs, care homes, garden centres and leisure venues.

It produces a range of meat, poultry, vegetarian and vegan, buffet, bakery and dessert lines at its factory at Collingtree.
