Regional wholesalers Kent-based kff and Medina Foodservice, which operates from depots on the Isle of Wight and Southampton, have announced that Neil Williams will become their new Managing Director.

kff and Medina are both subsidiaries of the world’s leading foodservice supplier, Sysco, and specialise in providing a wide range of high-quality food to local pubs, restaurants, schools and other venues serving food. They both have a particular emphasis on supplying products from regional producers in their locations.

Neil takes on the role of Managing Director of both businesses after spending more than ten years in various roles at sister company Brakes, most recently as Regional Sales Director. He has extensive experience in both customer-facing and operational roles, which will help him to build on the businesses long-standing and excellent reputation for delivering high service levels.

Neil said: “I am very excited by the opportunity to lead these two exceptional businesses. They have fantastic reputations for customer service and product quality. As part of Sysco, the businesses have the backing and investment to continue to grow and develop and I’m looking forward to being part of that.”

Neil replaces Mark Taylor, who is moving to another role within Sysco GB.
