Campbell’s Prime Meat currently employs 325 people at its Linlithgow site in Scotland. Over the past 100 years, it has provided top quality meat, fish and deli products to food businesses and consumers in Scotland as well as the UK through online sales.
Paul Nieduszynski, chief executive of Sysco GB, said: “We are delighted that Campbell’s 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.
“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 Campbell’s Prime Meat, which can add value to Sysco and enhance our customer proposition. We look forward to welcoming Campbell’s Prime Meat colleagues to the Sysco family.”
Campbell’s Prime Meat will continue to operate as a separate business but will now have the support of Sysco, which will bring opportunities for a broader range of products and access to new customers within the Sysco ecosystem.
Christopher Campbell, chief executive of Campbell’s Prime Meat, added: “Sysco is the perfect partner for the next stage in Campbell’s Prime Meat development. 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.
“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.”
