In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn. 
 
 Our extensive direct to store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food both our own and from trusted partners to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop. 
 
 Our site in Sutton Bridge is home to around 225 colleagues, producing chilled Indian ready meals for a dedicated customer.
