Vestey Holdings Limited Information

We are a fourth generation, family-owned business, our origins stretching back to the 1890s. Today we primarily invest in food companies operating in various segments of the industry. As custodians of these companies, we are not about the short term – our core aim is to build and improve them for future generations by empowering colleagues in their roles. Our core business remains rooted in importing and distributing quality affordable foods. We are always evolving in light of customers’ changing behaviour and, in recent years, have invested in a range of fine food offerings and also in new forms of marketing and distribution. While we are a food business, over time, we have developed a pensions consultancy activity based on the expertise and the excellent work of our in-house team. Our model is based on a flat decentralised structure. Managers of the companies are trusted to make the right decision and to get on with delivering the strategy for their business. We are determinedly a people business, and we stand or fall by their capabilities and performance. As a family business we believe that everyone who works with us should be given the opportunity to grow and reach their full potential. This extends beyond our own colleagues and into the communities in which they live. Strong communities foster a greater sense of belonging and a collective desire to help those less fortunate.
