Edinburgh-based JB Foods, a family-run foodservice wholesaler, has been acquired by Coleraine-based Lynas Foodservice.

“JB Foods has served Scottish catering for more than 60 years, earning a reputation for quality, Scottish provenance and trusted service,” said Lynas.

“Their history and commitment mirror our own, making this partnership such a natural fit for the future.

“For our customers, our teams and the markets we serve, this marks a fantastic opportunity …

“JB Foods will continue to operate under the JB Foods brand and we’re pleased that Lee Brown (Managing Director) and Charlotte Brown (Commercial Director) will continue leading the business.

“Their leadership will ensure continuity and consistency for customers.

“We already share a strong alignment through our long-standing membership of Caterforce, reinforcing this as a partnership built on shared experience and a customer-first approach.”
