The new contracts include one with Vue Cinemas, the UK’s largest multiplex cinema operator with 54 outlets, for which Blueheath has a contract to supply all food service products. It will supply a full range of impulse and convenience products to a motorway service station operator.
It has been appointed as nominated supplier for the south east franchise network of Northcliffe Retail, the retail division of Northcliffe Newspapers Group, with an initial 14 outlets, expected to build over time to 50 outlets.
It is also supplying a nine site forecourt and convenience chain in the south and the Star services five site forecourt chain in the South East.
The pace and scale of account wins remains in line with management expectations, although it will as usual take some time until all the new accounts are fully operational with roll outs beginning in August and September.
