DeliFresh Newcastle

Irish retail, wholesale, and foodservice business, Musgrave, has acquired Bradford-based company, Delifresh.

Delifresh is a provider of whole and prepared fruit & vegetables and chilled products, with operations spanning from London to Newcastle.

According to Musgrave, the acquisition further strengthens its position in the premium foodservice sector in Great Britain, following previous acquisitions of Ritter Courivaud, Town & Country Fine Foods and Italicatessen UK — leading suppliers of premium ingredients to chefs, restaurants, and hospitality businesses across the UK.

Managing director for Musgrave Group in Great Britain Stuart Campbell said: “By bringing Delifresh into the Musgrave Group, we are adding a strong player in the fresh, chilled, and speciality products space to our portfolio. This acquisition aligns with our intent to capture more market share in the premium and high-quality food sectors, as we continue to enhance our product range and geographical reach to meet growing customer demand.

“I look forward to working with the leadership team at Delifresh to explore ways for the business to grow while continuing to provide their existing customers with the excellent customer service and quality products they are accustomed to.”
