Foodbuy becomes UK’s largest GPO
It boasts a combined purchasing power of more than £2bn across over 70 categories.

Foodbuy has expanded to form the industry’s largest group purchasing organisation (GPO), Foodbuy Group (UK & I). Compass Group says the company will power the supply chain and add value to its partners beyond procurement, boasting a combined purchasing power of more than £2bn across over 70 categories.
'Deliver even greater value'
Alex Demetriou, chief executive officer of Foodbuy UK & I, said: “The creation of Foodbuy Group is hugely exciting and exceptionally well timed. While the industry is facing ongoing operational challenges and costs, by bringing together our purchasing power, we can deliver even greater value to our client partners and help them thrive.
“This latest move has also opened up new jobs – with 16 roles already filled and more across the UK currently advertised. It has also created huge opportunities for the suppliers and brand owners we partner with, as we can now further support them with the delivery of their innovation and development plans. I’m excited to see what we can achieve as a collective.”
