McCormick joins forces with Jenks to grow its UK foodservice business
Jenks has been appointed by McCormick to manage the sales and distribution of the majority of their UK Foodservice business in order to drive the next stage of their growth plans for the sector.
This collaboration will see these activities transfer to Jenks, whilst brand marketing, R&D, manufacturing and technical functions will remain with McCormick.
The change was planned to take effect from 19th November.
The agreement builds on a comprehensive brand and customer growth strategy that McCormick Foodservice embarked on in 2005 by building brand presence in new market sectors, and further penetrate traditional routes to market with core brands. McCormick is committed to driving their Foodservice business growth through range development and product innovation.
McCormick and Jenks began their business relationship over 20 years ago. Chris Moores, Commercial Director Europe, Foodservice, for McCormick says, "Jenks has longstanding and successful trading relationships with many of our customers and we believe they are the best partner with whom we can maximise our customers' business potential."
Jenks is the UK's leading grocery sales channel specialist with a 46Ðyear history of successful trading relationships across the UK grocery industry. In the last 12 months it has embarked on a major business review and expansion programme.
Ross Beattie, Jenks Joint Managing Director comments: "We are delighted to be extending our long term relationship with McCormick in this way and we expect to make a significant and lasting impact on the foodservice marketplace with this collaboration.
"Jenks is uniquely placed to maximise the benefits of its foodervice proposition to deliver McCormick's innovative growth strategy."
