Our History
We are a privately owned company founded in 1969 by Chairman, Michael Holdsworth. Since retiring from the day to day running of the business the company has been led by Managing Director, John Marriott who joined Holdsworth when it began 49 years ago.
About Holdsworth
Holdsworth supply a wide range of chilled, ambient and frozen goods to caterers. Over the past 49 years we have grown to become one of the most respected independent food service distributors in the UK. We are proud to remain a family owned business which we feel helps to give Holdsworth an advantage over some other similar businesses through an added sense of loyalty, commitment and collective values.
