Trevors Foodservice unveils new HQ

Trevors Foodservice has officially opened its new £5 million state-of-the-art premises, which will help the company to continue meeting its sustainability targets

A member of the Country Range Group, Trevors Foodservice supplies the public and hospitality catering sectors across North West England. The new 58,000 sq ft HQ is situated in the former home of the Fylde Ice Co. in Fleetwood’s historic dock area and is nearly twice the size of the company’s previous warehouse. The new premises will provide the foundations, space, facilities and resources for the independent foodservice supplier’s ambitious plans for future growth and job creation in the region.

The company’s Hitchen family was joined by team members, customers, stakeholders and local dignitaries for a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday 13 June to commemorate the opening.

The new HQ comprises a high-spec freezer, a new chiller, ambient storage and an investment property. Energy efficient lighting, improved cooling for refrigeration, optimised delivery routing and 796 solar panels are being installed to help Trevors continue to progress and work in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way after it reached its sustainability targets in 2023 and reduced its carbon footprint by just under 20%

Gary Hitchen, managing director of Trevors Foodservice, said: “It’s great to finally be in and have everything up and running. It’s an iconic and historic building in the town of Fleetwood, especially when it comes to food, so it’s a privilege to have been able to bring the building back to life. Our business turned 60 last year and we’re confident the new HQ will underpin our success for another 60 years and more, while helping to create jobs and regenerate this amazing area in the process.”

Matthew Hitchen, purchasing director at Trevors Foodservice, commented: “It’s been an incredible journey and a real team effort so we’re all ecstatic to officially open our new HQ and celebrate with our team, friends and family. I’m really excited about the future and I honestly couldn’t be prouder of the whole team for all their devotion and hard work. Alongside the amazing people we’re blessed to have, I’m confident our new home provides us with concrete foundations for our ambitious growth plans.”
