Suppliers

We work with local, ethical, and independent suppliers to ensure our food is fresh, seasonal and full of flavour. We care deeply about producing exceptional food, but we also care about minimising our environmental impact and supporting local enterprise.

Our Director of Purchasing closely manages our portfolio of supply partners. A robust supplier audit policy assesses quality, safety and operational systems to ensure we can guarantee supply and pricing, even during periods of macroeconomic challenge. We continuously review service levels to ensure supply partners align with our values and continue to meet our stringent quality markers.

As Thomas Franks has grown from a small regional company to a global catering partner, we have stayed true to our founding ethos. Whether our client is located in London or Lisbon, Nassau or Napoli, we build partnerships with local, family-owned suppliers to ensure our food is fresh, flavoursome and financially optimal. We are proud to fly the flag for family-owned businesses in the UK and around the world.
