We are also seeking to make further inroads into Contract Catering and University end users over the next 2 years so you will be fully responsible for planning and implementation of business development at National Accounts level in this area.

The long term plan is to grow business significantly over the next two years, and start to recruit for further personnel to support objectives and further growth within the UK Foodservice sector.
