BIDCORP UK CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF SUCCESS WITH A FORTNIGHT OF CELEBRATIONS

Bidcorp UK, the parent company which includes Bidfood, Bidfresh, Bidcorp Manufacturing and Caterfood Buying Group, is this month celebrating 25 years of trading since being acquired by its South African parent company, Bidcorp.

To mark the occasion, all depots across Bidcorp UK will be hosting a party to celebrate a quarter century of successes. The festivities will stretch across two weeks, starting on Monday the 11th November, and concluding on Saturday the 23rd. In addition to specific site activities, all employees will receive an anniversary card containing details around a big prize giveaway, covering a range of spectacular prizes!

The celebrations in place are in aid of Bidcorp UK’s formation in 1999, originally emerging as 3663 and then Bidvest, Bidvest Foodservice, until eventually renaming to become Bidcorp UK and Bidfood UK as it’s known today.

Andrew Selley, CEO of Bidcorp UK commented: “When I look over the past 25 years, I am delighted to see how far we’ve come to become the thriving, prosperous and inclusive business we are today. While each of our companies has its own individual story, it’s our shared journey that brings us all together.

“To be where we are today couldn’t have happened without the dedication and hard work of the brilliant teams and individuals we have here. So to colleagues past and present, I would like to say a big thank you!

“I’m looking forward to hearing how each depot marks the occasion and to watch each of the businesses continue to go from strength to strength, so here’s to the next 25 years!”
