Gary Mullineux takes on additional role as joint CEO of ECD

Gary Mullineux, managing director of Caterforce, has taken on an additional role as joint CEO of European Catering Distributors (ECD).

ECD is a pan-European buying and development consortium, bringing together independent foodservice distributors across 18 European markets, with a group turnover of €11 billion. Its members include Caterforce.

“By combining scale, collaboration, and shared expertise, ECD creates value for its members and delivers compelling opportunities for supplier partners across Europe,” said Mullineux (pictured).

“I’m looking forward to working closely with Ioannis Tsouloukidis, my fellow joint CEO, along with the suppliers and shareholders, to help ECD continue to flourish for many years to come.”

He added: “If you are an international supplier already working with some of our members and are looking to expand your reach across Europe, I would very much welcome you to get in touch.”
