Our Story
Where we started
The Grocery Express opened its doors in 2005. As passionate food enthusiasts, we recognised the need for a comprehensive and accessible solution that would cater to the evolving demands of both businesses and individuals when it comes to procuring high-quality ingredients.
Achieving new heights
In March 2023, The Grocery Express was acquired by the JH GROUP, leading to a powerful synergy between The Grocery Express and Foodgistics. The acquisition brought both companies together to leverage their collective strengths and combined expertise in the foodservice industry.
Through the strategic partnership within the JH GROUP, The Grocery Express and Foodgistics have expanded their network of suppliers, ensuring access to an extensive range of high-quality products. This increased purchasing power enables both companies to secure competitive prices and source the finest ingredients, allowing for enhanced options and value for their customers.
Expanding our reach
Established in 2007 and proudly rooted in East London, PFD (Professional FoodService Distributors) is a specialist supplier of hospitality and hygiene products. Starting from humble beginnings, the company has grown with a strong commitment to personalised service, industry knowledge, and reliable delivery. Its team is dedicated to helping hotels, guesthouses, businesses, and institutions run smoothly.
In 2024, PFD became part of Grocery Express, gaining the support of a trusted distributor known for delivering frozen, chilled, and dry goods, as well as packaging and cleaning materials. Together, they remain committed to keeping operations well-stocked and service-ready every day.
What the future holds
The future holds endless possibilities for The Grocery Express, and its dedication to growth and expansion ensures that customers can rely on the company as a trusted and convenient solution for their Foodservice needs. Currently we are expanding into East London and other regions. The Grocery Express is determined to bring the best products directly to the doorsteps of its customers.
