Premier Foods Wholesale, the largest individual wholesaler in the UK’s largest wholesale market, is today celebrating its 25^th anniversary.

On June 6^th, 1999 Premier Fruits Covent Garden was opened in two units at New Covent Garden Market, by Jason Tanner and Roger Garber. The firm has expanded into 15 units, acquired businesses along the way and today delivers nationwide from its NCGM base. It is well inside the top 50 largest fresh produce firms in the UK.

Roger still works at Premier, but is no longer a director. Jason is managing director of The Menu Partners, the wider group of which Premier Foods Wholesale is now an integral part. He said: “It’s been an incredible journey over the past quarter century. Our story to becoming an industry leader began in 1999 and we have remained committed to ensuring quality and service to our loyal customer base ever since, whilst continuing to forge new relationships with suppliers and nurturing existing partnerships globally.

“Today, Premier Foods Wholesale as a business looks very different than it did at the outset, but it continues to embrace its family-owned spirit. With a move to a new purpose-built multi temperature facility only weeks away and a growing fleet capable of countrywide deliveries 7-days-a-week, we are future fit for the next 25 years and beyond.

“A big thank you to our people, customers and suppliers for joining us on our journey. Here’s to the next quarter of a century of continued success!”
