Sysco GB has acquired Scottish specialist meat supplier Campbells Prime Meats.
The Linlithgow-based meat business employs 325 people and supplies regional customers and across the UK through online sales.
Started as a family business in 1910, the Scottish supplier has built an “enviable reputation” spanning over 100 years for selling quality meat cuts, fish, and deli products.
According to its most recent available accounts, Campbells recorded a turnover of £69m and made a pre-tax profit of £4.1m for ending 31 December 2023.
“We are delighted that Campbells Prime Meat will be joining Sysco GB – it is a great business with a fantastic reputation for producing high-quality meat, fish and deli items, combined with exceptional levels of service and championing independent customers in Scotland”, said Sysco GB CEO Paul Nieduszynski.
“We believe that it is a brilliant fit for Sysco and will bring a huge benefit for our customers by strengthening our Scottish proposition.
“We’re very keen to work with high-quality and complementary businesses like Campbells Prime Meat, which can add value to Sysco and enhance our customer proposition. We look forward to welcoming Campbells Prime Meat colleagues to the Sysco family.”
Campbells CEO Christopher Campbell added: “Over the past century, we’ve worked tirelessly to build a reputation as the leading catering butcher in Scotland, and we’ve been impressed at how Sysco wants to support and encourage us to continue that journey.
“Sysco is the perfect partner for the next stage in Campbells Prime Meat’s development.
“With the additional route to market that Sysco offers, we can bring our quality meat, fish and deli products to an entirely new audience. We are very much looking forward to an exciting new phase in the company’s development.”
