Akdeniz Finsbury has been trading since 2009, and it now has five supermarkets and five restaurants.

As well as sourcing products for its own business outlets, Akdeniz Finsbury supplies grocery, impulse, foodservice and household products to a wide customer base. To support this wholesale operation, the company has opened a new warehouse in Harlow, Essex, with a view to increasing its reach and capacity to supply 50 supermarkets and 25 restaurants outside of its ownership.

Abdullah Gilgil, director of Akdeniz Finsbury, said: “We are so happy to become part of Sugro. We think that partnering with Sugro means tapping into a powerful network of collaboration and shared strength. We believe, together, we maximise value, streamline operations, and pave the way for sustainable growth.”

Sugro’s business development manager Sue Hubber added: “We are very excited to welcome Abdullah Gilgil and his team at Akdeniz Finsbury to the Sugro family. There are some great opportunities for Sugro to support the new extended venture and existing retail and restaurant outlets. It is great to add more consumer-facing outlets and drive activation of our supplier brands.”
