Having opened its doors in 1992, Turner Price offers over 8,000 products including fresh and chilled produce as well as store cupboard ingredients. The wholesaler has over 2,500 customers across the Midlands and North of England.

The business becomes the latest addition to join the successful Caterfood Buying Group network, following on from the acquisition of Harvest Fine Foods and Thomas Ridley Foodservice in 2023.
