Stephen Beech, UK managing director at Entegra said: “We are looking forward to working with the team at Beacon to broaden our offering which will enable the faster deployment of new areas of service to benefit our clients’ businesses. Both our clients and Beacon’s will gain access to an enhanced portfolio of services to serve their needs, ultimately working to drive down cost, increase operational efficiency, and boost business performance.”
The move aims to bring together the companies to provide stronger support to hospitality businesses looking to improve their procurement. Entegra provides purchasing, operational support, digital tools and corporate social responsibility.
Paul Brown, managing director of Beacon Purchasing, commented: “From the moment we started talking to Entegra, the benefits of combining our two successful businesses just made sense. Beacon customers will now be able to leverage the power of better pricing that being part of Entegra brings, and Entegra customers will benefit from the additional services Beacon can provide.
“At this time of crippling cost pressures having a purchasing partner that can deliver is more important than ever and we believe joining Entegra will provide real solutions for thousands of struggling businesses.”
