Foodbuy acquires Regency Purchasing Group

Foodbuy Europe has acquired Regency Purchasing Group, which operates in the hospitality and leisure market to over 5,000 sites ranging from independent sites to large groups.

Regency Purchasing Group's senior management team will stay in place with the founder Alex Demetriou continuing to lead and develop the business over the coming years and the business will continue to operate under the Regency Purchasing Group brand.

Commenting on the acquisition Karl Atkins, managing director for Foodbuy said: "Regency Purchasing Group is a brilliant company with robust supplier and client relationships, evidenced through its strong retention rates. It empowers independent and family-owned businesses to compete with national brands and has extensive regional coverage which will mean Foodbuy can continue to offer agility and supplier flexibility through its supply chain models.

"I am excited to explore how Regency Purchasing Group's self-developed systems can continue to enhance our system offering to suit individual client needs, as well as bringing together our purchasing power to buy and operate smarter for our clients. I look forward to welcoming Regency Purchasing Group and getting to know the team."

Demetriou, added: "We are delighted to be working with the team at Foodbuy, whose values are closely aligned with ours. At a time of such volatility in the marketplace, our ability to combine purchasing volumes and drive supply chain efficiencies and savings for our customers has never been more important. We very much look forward to continuing to work with our management team and taking the best of what Foodbuy are able to offer and support us with. The creation of this joint partnership, whilst maintaining the Regency way of working, is a very exciting proposition as we go into the New Year."
