The Wholesale Group scores new member

Bradford wholesaler United Foods Cash & Carry has joined The Wholesale Group, strengthening its presence in Yorkshire, adding capacity to its northern coverage

With more than 20 years of wholesale expertise, United Foods Cash & Carry has an annual turnover of £23m and serves independent retailers, caterers and local businesses with ambient groceries, chilled and frozen foods, drinks and household essentials.

“United Foods represents exactly the kind of strategic partner we want in The Wholesale Group – an established, customer-focused business with deep roots in its community and a clear vision for growth,” said Jess Douglas, Managing Director People & Operations at The Wholesale Group.

“United Foods’ addition to our Yorkshire presence is particularly significant as we continue building a nationwide network that supports independent wholesale businesses in competing effectively while maintaining their unique local character.”

Owner of United Foods Cash & Carry Zafar Iqbal said: “After more than 20 years serving Bradford’s trade community, we recognised that joining The Wholesale Group would enable us to deliver even greater value to our customers.

“The Wholesale Group’s collaborative approach, combined with access to enhanced supplier relationships and shared knowledge across the membership, aligns perfectly with our commitment to supporting independent businesses. We’re excited to be part of this dynamic group and look forward to growing alongside our fellow members.”

This latest development takes the number of members of The Wholesale Group to 225.
