- The Hull-based distributor is celebrating 50 years in the fine food industry, following its establishment in 1965 by Douglas Hider
The company is now in its third generation – currently managed by Duncan Hider and Mike Thirklette – and offers independent retailers an award-winning selection of speciality ambient foods.
Following a warehouse extension at the end of 2014, which took the total space to 100,000 square feet, the market leading ambient specialist is working on decreasing minimum order quantities.
Duncan Hider, co-MD of Hider Foods said, “There is not a week that goes by at work when my grandfather Douglas, who founded the business some 50 years ago, is not mentioned in conversation.
“Despite him sadly not being here to celebrate the momentous occasion, I’m constantly reassured by both customers, colleagues and suppliers that his straightforward open approach to business with suppliers and customers continues to be an extremely important and valued side of Hider Foods.”
