The successful onboarding follows a seamless integration process delivered collaboratively by both teams, ensuring continuity of supply and service from day one.

Best continually invests in people, service, innovation and collaborative partnerships that help Hospitality operators meet the demands of an increasingly dynamic Hospitality market.

Paul Whyte, Managing Director of Best Food Logistics, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Ranjit and team Slim Chickens to our growing portfolio of customers.

We look forward to a long term, thriving partnership with Slims.
