Curd & Cure are pleased to announce the takeover of fellow family wholesaler C W Parker & Son. Both family businesses were established over 25 years ago, dedicated to supplying the finest quality cheeses. They have operated side by side in the same sector over that time but are now keen to bring the two companies together.
Parker’s customers will be assured of the same high level of customer service and benefit from a wider product range and greater delivery options. The move has been welcomed by suppliers and customers alike.
Nick Driver, owner of Hartley Dyke Farm shop said “We are very much looking forward to having a wider range of cheese available to us and many new exciting Kentish products that are available through Curd & Cure.”
Michael Fox, owner of Robin Hood Service Station said “Parker’s Cheese has been a major asset to my business. Knowing Curd & Cure operate under a similar ethos, but with a wider range, the future seems very exciting”
Curd & Cure continue to grow and expand its range of products, supplying much more than just cheese. Many are sourced locally in Kent and nearby Sussex, enabling many smaller producers to get their products to a wider audience and satisfying retail and hospitality demand for quality local produce.
Stuart Grant, director said “We are delighted to be expanding our customer base in this way and look forward to supplying Parkers customers and keeping the values and traditions of the company alive, which we share.”
Parkers director Andy Grant will be joining Curd & Cure to ensure continuity as the remaining directors retire. They are also delighted to carry across staff from their production site in Rye, East Sussex to Curd & Cure’s site in Cranbrook.
Curd & Cure have seen growth of over 30% between 2014-2016 with expected 2017 growth of a further 30% with the acquisition of Parkers.
