FJ Colwyn Bay

Buying group Sugro has expanded its membership with F Jones (Colwyn Bay).

The North Wales-based wholesaler serves foodservice businesses including takeaways, small restaurants and caterers.

It supplies soft drinks, ambient grocery and disposable packaging to over 1,000 customers across the region.

It operates a 15,000 sq ft warehouse in Wrexham equipped with a 12-strong vehicle fleet.

Still family-owned and run, F Jones transitioned to delivered wholesale in 1993, having been established in 1931 as fish supplier.

The wholesaler has an annual turnover of £11m, according to the company.

“F Jones, a family-run business, is currently undergoing a huge growth plan, so with Sugro’s unique buying and marketing capabilities, now feels like the right time for F Jones Food Services to become a member and accelerate its growth,” said F Jones MD Jon Roberts.

Sugro business development manager Shruti Senapati added: “We are thrilled to welcome Jon Roberts and the entire team at F Jones to the group.

“F Jones is an established and well-regarded name in the fast food sector, and we are excited to be part of their continued expansion. We are committed to supporting their growth journey and collaborating to strengthen supplier relationships, driving mutual success along the way.”
