Simply Lunch delivers food to organisations across the UK and has established itself as a leading supplier of pre-packed sandwiches, salads and hot food.

The company, founded 30 years ago, now employs 170-180 people.

The family’s appetite for additional development has seen the firm receive new funding from Aldermore as the business’ turnover is set to further increase to £30m over the next three years and this will enable the company to strengthen its focus on client satisfaction and quality produce.

Sam Page, chief executive, Simply Lunch said: “We are very proud of what we have achieved since we started our family business 30 years ago. For us to grow our business further, we needed to work with a financial partner that understands our ambitious growth plans, and that company is Aldermore. It has helped us in a number of ways over the years, from invoice financing to asset financing, supply funds, purchase vehicles and machinery. It’s the flexible approach to financing that makes our partnership such a success. The Aldermore team has taken the time to learn who we are as a business, and it is committed to accompanying us on this growth journey.”
