Ayr-based Sugro member Iannotti Bros closes its doors

Iannotti Bros, established 51 years ago and operating as a cash & carry and delivered wholesaler in Ayr, has closed.

 The company, with a turnover of £3.5 million and a staff of six, was in the same family ownership since being founded by four brothers.

In recent years it has been under the control of managing director Roberto Iannotti, 57. He told Cash & Carry Management: “The building is now being rented by an engineering company. We accept that the trade is no longer a viable proposition for small independent wholesalers like us. It’s a symptom of the market.”

He continued: “Outside of this business, we have a fish & chip shop in Ayr, which we will continue to run.”

The C&C/wholesaler, which traded in confectionery, soft drinks, biscuits and cereals, was a longstanding member of Sugro.
