The completion of the acquisition is subject to the approval from the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

If approved, KFF will become part of Sysco’s other UK businesses, including Brakes, Fresh Direct, and M&J Seafood.

Sysco International Foodservice Operations – Europe senior vice-president Ajoy Karna said: “Kent Frozen Foods will complement Sysco’s other UK businesses perfectly.

“Our businesses share many values, including a strong family heritage and customer-led culture and will benefit from complementary strengths in product offering and geography.”
