United Fresh Consortium – Success Story

The United Fresh Consortium is one of the country's leading suppliers of fresh produce into the UK catering and hospitality sector. They are fast becoming the industry leader in working towards a genuinely sustainable supply chain for clients wanting to improve their current practices.

We hear from Alexandra Feasey, Finance Director, about her experience of working with Pentlands.

“I’d known Pentlands for 15 years and had always highly rated them, so when I joined United Fresh as Finance Director, I recommended that we changed our accountants to Pentlands. We have a complex business model which I knew Elinor and the Team would understand and be of benefit too.

We value the transparency of their service proposition, and we have a clearly defined agreement which we pay monthly. There are no hidden costs, so I feel confident knowing that we won’t get any unexpected bills.

It gives us the comfort of knowing we can ask questions and they are always willing to help. They also have great connections in their ‘little black book’ so we know that if they don’t know the answer, they will know someone that does. It makes our life so much easier that we have that kind of support on our side.

I like the way Pentlands communicate. They are honest and talk clearly, they help you to understand the pros and cons that allow you to make big decisions with more ease and confidence. Elinor really knows her stuff, using her depth of knowledge to find the right solutions and make suggestions. She will also challenge our thinking, presenting us with a range of alternative options that we may not have thought of. We didn’t get that level of support from the previous accountants.”
