That's exactly why the Ministry of Defence have used dbc foodservice to supply their forces, both at home and operationally overseas, through Purple Foodservice Solutions, for the past 5 years and why they have recently extended this for a further 2 year term.

What they say about us...
The customers are happy. They take the quality of service for granted - and that's a great compliment in itself given that there is no room for error when meeting tight delivery windows for units such as submarines and ships that can't delay sailing or come back for a top up.
In terms of the supply contract, the partners succeed in delivering to specification and on time, while at the same time providing value for money.
