products, frozen, chilled and fresh foods, alcohol, groceries and tobacco to
approximately 46,000, mainly independent, customers.

the UK to a diverse customer base, which includes independent convenience
retailers, leisure outlets, vending machine operators, foodservice providers

The Group's growth to date has been achieved both organically and through a
strategy of acquiring smaller, predominantly family-owned, complementary
