Boughey Distribution Ltd, one of the UK’s leading distribution and storage companies, has been appointed by Evesham-based food ingredient importer Burtell Foods to store and deliver a variety of food products, with specific rotations of certain items, timed deliveries into food producers and weight recording of certain items before dispatch for invoicing purposes.

Burtell began working with Boughey in the summer of 2007 and uses the company to store around 280 pallets at any one time. Said Burtell’s General Manager, Dave Savage, “We had a warehouse situation for many years and we were having trouble with the pricing aspect of it, so we looked at a few companies to outsource to. Boughey came up with the best cost option and we also had a good experience when we visited their Wardle site. On arriving we got lost and drove around the site – our initial impression at that point was that they were too big for us but when we were met in reception we were instantly made to feel very important. Although we are quite a small organization we felt wanted and are glad we made the move.”

Burtell Foods specialises in supplying everyday and exotic food ingredients to manufacturers in the UK and abroad, including canned goods, dehydrates, tomato products, purees, food additives and colours, culinary wines, spirits and vinegars, vegetables for pickling and unusual ingredients.
