Wholesaler kff invests £3m in Aylesford site as demand grows
Abstract
Regional wholesaler kff, part of Sysco GB, has invested more than £3m in its operations as it has enjoyed a 50% post-pandemic boom in sales.

The company has increased the size of its site, taking a satellite warehouse next to its original Aylesford site, so that it can carry a bigger range and it has also invested almost £2m in its fleet, upgrading to efficient vehicles. Kff has made improvements around its site, including upgrading colleague and kitchen facilities.

Phillip White, kff managing director, said: “We have the backing of the world’s leading foodservice company, which has allowed us to invest in the business to help us grow. Over the past couple of years we have refocussed the company to increase our local provenance, growing the number of Kent and South East producers that we work with.

“We’ve also spent £1m upgrading our refrigeration, so that we can launch a much bigger ‘fresh’ range, adding more than 250 products, which means that our customers can now access even more products in one place from one supplier. And we’ve made it easier for customers to access the range with new apps and an upgraded website.”
