“This expansion is testament to our commitment to fostering strong partnerships and continuously enhancing our supply chain for our members,” said Peter Saunders, head of buying at Caterforce. “By introducing 18 new suppliers, we are ensuring that our members and their customers have access to a wider selection of high-quality products, helping them to meet evolving consumer demands, reflect key trends and continually stand out from their competition.”
As part of its supplier engagement strategy, Caterforce hosts six Supplier Presentation Days each year at Edgbaston Park Hotel in Birmingham. These events are structured in a speed-dating format, allowing suppliers to book 20- or 40-minute sessions with key decision-makers from across the Caterforce membership, including buyers, sales, and marketing managers.
