The name change reflects the company's dedication to food quality and high-level customer satisfaction, while its brand positioning expresses the food services business' growth and evolution as it continues to expand its service offerings to reach new markets and customers.

Tiger Brands Food Services Solutions is a key service provider to customers across the HORECA (Hotels, Restaurants and Caterers) spectrum and includes business-to-business (B2B) customers, and institutions such as schools, office parks and prisons.

"Food is more than just sustenance. It's a universal language that brings people together. Our basket is full of the best-quality heritage brands in South Africa, and we are passionate about providing top-quality ingredients for the best meals. Our aim is for our direct customers and the consumer to ask for our brands by name, whether they are purchasing as a hotel manager or ordering a meal at a restaurant," concludes Ferrini.
