Food wholesalers, Kitwave has acquired Angelbell Ltd trading as Hulleys, the Sheffield-based chain of six frozen food depots, growing its customer base to around 30,000.
Hulleys is a family business that has been trading for more than 80 years, building up a product portfolio predominantly made up of ice cream and a wider frozen food offering.
Hulleys focuses on major national accounts, buying groups and leisure venues like Chatsworth House, Center Parcs and Flamingoland, but it also serves smaller outlets varying from corner shops in major cities to beach side kiosks on both the east and west coasts of the UK.
This is the second frozen food operation to be snapped by by Kitwave, following the addition of Eden Farm last year.
