The new site will help connect the South West and ease some of the seasonal pressures on Bidfood’s Lee Mill depot as well as reducing delivery miles. The Bodmin site will enable existing and new customers to order online and via telesales up to 10pm each day, for next-day delivery.
Bidfood has a 10,000 strong product range that includes the best of both own brand and leading foodservice brands. Bidfood also provides a range of quality catering equipment, from cutlery to cookware, cleaning and disposables.
Richard Dow, the business unit director at Chepstow, Swansea and Lee Mill, commented: “As part of our strategy to grow sales and deliver service excellence to our customers we’re always reviewing our infrastructure and where we can be expand the local depot network.
“With that in mind, we recognised the opportunity to improve in the South West and I’m incredibly excited to assemble this new team to provide an even better service to the Devon and Cornwall area. I’m also delighted that we’re able to give back to the local community, the added jobs coupled with reinforced abilities to support local businesses will give the local economy a great chance to grow.”
