Sidmouth-based SJB Foods has joined Fairway Foodservice.

Based in the West Country, SJB Foods supplies caterers throughout Devon and Somerset with a comprehensive range of ambient, chilled, non-food and frozen products.

Coral Rose, MD of Fairway, said: “We are delighted to welcome SJB Foods to Fairway and look forward to working with Stephen and James Berisford. They operate a successful wholesale business, and deliver an excellent range combined with exceptional service levels to their broad customer base. The buying, marketing and brand support that we will provide to the SJB Foods team will actively boost their ongoing success.”

Stephen Berisford added: “Joining Fairway Foodservice marks an exciting new chapter for SJB Foods. As a family-led business, we take great pride in our strong local roots and our long-standing commitment to supporting independent caterers throughout Devon. It’s been especially rewarding to have my son, James, working alongside me for several years now, and as a director, his involvement has been key to our growth. His fresh ideas and energy continue to shape our operations and our exceptional service levels, and together we look forward to building on our family legacy.

“This partnership provides us with the opportunity to maintain our personal, community-focused approach, while also benefiting from Fairway’s vast industry experience, resources and buying power.

“Together with Fairway, we look forward to building on our product range, adding more value to our customers. We are confident that with Fairway’s support, the future holds great opportunities for SJB Foods.”
