Sugro UK, the member-owned buying and marketing co-operative, has recruited two new members – Hardy Brothers and Cyprofood – taking its collective turnover to more than £1.4bn.
Hardy Brothers are a Northern Irish wholesaler, while Cyprofood traditionally trade in fresh produce. Both stated that they wanted to take advantage of Sugro’s specialisms in confectionery, drinks and snacks.
Sugro business development manager Tabitha Hunter-Smale commented: “It’s exciting that we’re ending a testing year on such a high note, and it’s reassuring for us as a buying group to know that independent wholesalers continue to look to Sugro UK for support. Both Cyprofood and Hardy Brothers already look set to be integral players within the group.
“Hardy Brothers will strengthen our Northern Ireland membership, and Cyprofood are seeking growth in both impulse and grocery.”
