Cotswold Fayre, the leading distributor of speciality food and drink in the UK, has announced a long-term partnership with Ramsden International, expanding opportunities for its suppliers into new markets.
From April 2021, the wholesaler will be supplying speciality food to Ramsden International, the award-winning exporter of British food and drink to retailers in 133 different countries.
“This partnership is great news for us, and you could say, a marriage made in heaven!" said Paul Hargreaves, CEO of Cotswold Fayre. "While we have done a small amount of export business over the years, it makes complete business sense to partner up with an industry-leading exporter like Ramsden International – and we’re excited to get started.
“As a fine food distributor, we have more than 22 years knowledge of the speciality food market and Ramsden International has been a leading exporter for decades. Particularly with the complexities of exporting products, brought about by Brexit, the timing of this partnership with an expert exporter could not be better. We look forward to making the incredible, quality food from these islands more widely available to the rest of the world.”
Sean Ramsden, MBE, Founder & CEO, Ramsden International said: “We are delighted to be forming this partnership with Cotswold Fayre who offer an excellent strategic fit with Ramsden International. The fine food range that Cotswold Fayre supply is in high demand throughout our customer base and presents a clear opportunity for us to add value to our range proposition and drive incremental sales. We are very excited about announcing this partnership to our global customer base and working closely with Cotswold Fayre to deliver our ambitious growth plans.”
