London-based wholesaler Bestway has taken over Batleys Cash and Carry. Bestway confirmed the deal today ending weeks of speculation. The amount paid for Batleys remains undisclosed.

Bestway also confirmed that none of Batleys depots will be rebranded nor would the operational structure be changed to mirror that of Bestway.

Younus Sheikh, managing director wholesale business of Bestway said: “We anticipate that the management teams will work closely together to realise the benefits to enable the combined businesses to thrive in this challenging market place.”
