Procurement

At the Fresh Food Group, our team of buyers and quality controllers work hard to ensure that only the finest quality products arrive at our chilled warehouse facility. We are continuously seeking out the finest fresh and prepared produce suppliers for all our product lines, and in order to do this we follow a structured, proven policy:

Supplier Audits:

Each and every supplier we bring on board or continue to use is audited by our buying team. These audits, both scheduled and unannounced, focus on ensuring the supplier can guarantee a consistent, high quality supply at stable prices.

We also ensure comprehensive procedures are in place to control regulations such as food safety, hygiene, control of pesticides, microbiological testing etc.

Direct Sourcing:

Where possible, we source products direct from the grower or manufacturer - and these products are delivered directly to our chilled warehousing facility. This reduces the distance the product has to cover to reach us, improving freshness as well as ensuring we buy at the very best possible prices.

Local Produce:

Where the quality is of a very high standard, we aim to be able to supply as much fresh, local produce as possible. However, should local quality be below par, we are able to shift supply to other regions, countries or even continents overnight.

Supplier Partnerships:

Where suppliers have proved to be exceptional at delivering consistently high quality at competitive prices, we seek to develop partnerships to innovate new product and packaging ideas, and introduce them to the market place through our customer base. This not only gives us unique products to offer our customers, but also allows our customers to experience new product innovations long before they reach the wider marketplace.
