Who we are

We are award-winning food procurement experts, established in 2006 and committed to inspiring improvement for each and every one of our client partners.

Why do we exist? To deliver sustainable value for every client, because good food shouldn't cost the earth.

I’ve been impressed by the savings we’ve already seen, the flexibility regarding suppliers and by the excellent quality. The consolidation of invoices into 1 per month is a huge win.

Our approach

Leading food procurement expertise is at the heart of what we do, combined with hands-on catering and nutrition experience.

This means we’re able to offer flexible and varied procurement services and foodservice consultancy adapted to your care organisation’s specific needs. As well as food and cateringrelated procurement, we can also support your needs when it comes to medical consumables.

As experienced procurement professionals, we understand the intricate workings of supply chains and the factors that influence them. Our goal is to deliver value through cost savings, without forfeiting – in fact often improving – quality.

Through our team’s detailed and ongoing insight and analysis, you’ll receive advice, proactive recommendations and buy rights, essential in today’s ever-changing marketplace. From procurement reviews to our informative publication ‘Foodsight’, allmanhall always ensures you’re up to date.

As a result of the negotiation skills of our expert buyers and leveraging our purchase volumes, we are able to mitigate supplier price increases, on your behalf.

Our dedicated and award-winning support team consists of a day-to-day help desk as well as experienced, consultative relationship managers. We’re also able to offer nutrition and dietetic advice as and when you need to call on it.

From informative talks to your residents to reviews of your menus, our nutritionists and dietitians will help!

We are happy to carry out a free, no obligation benchmark. All we need from you are some recent supplier invoices.

In addition to the above, you will also have access to ‘The Pass’, our online client portal providing access to news and updates, market reports, supplier details, case management, recipes, webinars and more.

You’ll also find it a great support, day-to-day, when needing toolkits, training courses, useful contact information and price updates at the touch of a button.

Sustainability

Our client and supplier relationships are established on fairness, integrity, longevity, and mutual respect. We expect our suppliers to uphold these same values and commit to bringing about transparency within their supply chains. This means our clients are able to appreciate what lies behind our food from a social and environmental perspective to the same extent as quality, cost and taste.

allmanhall’s exclusive partnership with Foodsteps, the award-winning carbon impact assessment platform, enables your catering team to set and monitor targets, improve the sustainability of your menus and reduce your carbon footprint. By uploading recipes to the Foodsteps platform, you can assess the environmental impact of your menus and print carbon impact labels which can be used to educate your diners about their food.

What our clients had to say...

allmanhall are experts in their field and have handled the mobilisation of our contract effectively and extremely efficiently. Communication has been excellent, from weekly update meetings to advise of additional savings the Trust could make and products to support and enhance the retail service. We have received a hands-on approach, be it training on the systems or reviewing additional product lines. The ethos and approach to sustainability is a very close match to that of the Trust. We look forward to a successful ongoing partnership.
