We pride ourselves on our ability to provide anything from a teaspoon to a complete catering solution to customers of all sizes, utilising our national structure and the combined expertise of our employees. We provide every food option from quality ingredients to finished meals, including a number of own brand ranges as well as all the big brands and regional specialities.

We believe that it is important to keep in touch with our customers in order to understand their needs. Quality and value for money are important to our customers, we listened to this need and we have recently improved our own brand offer. To make sure our own brand products look and taste great, we blind taste everything against the competition. If it isn't good enough, then it doesn't make it into our 3663 own brand. As part of our business partnership with the Craft Guild of Chef’s we are excited to be working with them on endorsement of some of our new own brand innovation, to further show our customers how great our own brand quality is when used by real chefs. This is just the beginning, we look forward to what the future might bring in working with the Craft Guild of Chef’s.

Footprint Media Group

Footprint Media Group is an integrated media platform that provides the foodservice industry with the go-to resource for sector-pertinent information on sustainability and responsible practice. Through print and online media, events and market research, we provide a holistic approach to communication that allows the members of this community to access the debate through their medium of choice.

Sustainability is arguably the single most important issue facing the global food industry in the short to medium term. An issue that impacts upon each stage of the foodservice supply chain in the face of growing concern over food and energy security and one that will undoubtedly play an integral part in the production, delivery and responsible administration of human food resource in the years to come.

It is easy for organisations to exist in this space where their sustainability outlook is restricted exclusively to their immediate suppliers and customers. We strongly believe that this is a whole supply chain issue and so bring to the table not just the operators and manufacturers, but all stakeholders, influencers and policy makers such as government and NGO’s to further the debate.

In so doing we provide our readers and members with a full perspective of supply chain impact and showcase the latest initiatives and innovations as they happen with one eye firmly on the commercial realities of modern business.

Wenlock Spring

An award winning, quality spring water - dedicated to serving hospitality - the perfect complement to fine dining

Provenance, quality of taste and stylish presentation are key factors when choosing a bottled spring water to serve to your guests. Wenlock Spring delivers on all of these. Dedicated to serving the Hotel, Restaurant and Hospitality sectors - Wenlock Spring is an exclusive brand that will not be found in the major multiple retailers.

The qualities of a bottled water can enhance and provide the right balance to complement a meal. Wenlock Spring has a refreshingly clean and delicately sweet taste. A light touch of fizz is added to make Wenlock Spring sparkle. Just as nature intended, Wenlock Spring is a pure spring water, naturally filtered through the geologically famous rock strata of the Wenlock Edge in Shropshire - and then bottled at source in an environmentally friendly way.

Wenlock Spring is an award winning bottled water; recognised by the British Bottlers' Institute (BBI) for its distinctive taste, including Gold for Wenlock Spring Still and Silver for Wenlock Spring Sparkling. The classic bottle shape and contemporary label design allows Wenlock Spring to fit perfectly within modern restaurants or more classic fine dining environments. The British Bottlers' Institute recognised their creative approach with a Gold award for the innovative design and presentation.

The team at Wenlock Spring set themselves apart by spending time with customers to ensure that Wenlock Spring meets the needs of your market. A thorough understanding of the bottled water you serve can  significantly add to your bottom line - if set at a realistic price margin.
