Frozen Food Distributor Central Foods Appoints Three Members



Frozen food distributor Central Foods has strengthened its team with three new appointments.


Anna Ciszewska has been hired as technical controller, while Stacey Kitchener and Josh Johnston have been appointed as sales executives.


MD for Central Foods Oli Sampson said:

“As a leading frozen food distributor to the food service sector, Central Foods is very pleased to have boosted our team with these three new appointments."

“They join the business at an exciting time when we are growing and adding new brands to our range. On behalf of the Central Foods team, I’d like to welcome Anna, Stacey and Josh, and we look forward to introducing them to our customers and clients.”


Northamptonshire-based Central Foods is a catering partner across the whole food service sector, supplying to hotels, restaurants, bars, universities, schools, pubs, care sector, cafés, business and industry, garden centres, and more.


It currently sells to over 250 independent wholesalers, as well as larger national and regional wholesalers, with a range that includes meat and poultry, desserts, bakery, vegan and vegetarian products, buffet and afternoon tea items, and a whole lot more.


Anna, who has spent ten years working in food safety and technical compliance, leading teams and building systems that keep products safe, consistent and high quality, said:

“I am excited to have joined Central Foods and I’m looking forward to the journey ahead.”

Outside of work Anna loves interior design and DIY, and is currently renovating a house in Burton Latimer.


Stacey, from Northampton, who has previously worked in sales, said:

“The food sector is a new challenge for me and I am looking forward to getting stuck in.”

She enjoys socialising with friends and getting out into the fresh air.


Josh, who has experience of working in the foodservice sector in Corby where he lives, said:

“When the opportunity to go to Central Foods arrived, I took it because it is a well-established brand and I've heard many good things about it.”

Josh’s main hobby is driving and anything car related.


Central Foods was established in 1996 as a consolidator for the frozen wholesale market servicing the hospitality sector. The company supplies market leaders Bidfood and Brakes, the large wholesale buying groups such as Caterforce and Country Range and smaller independent wholesalers, whilst also servicing large end-user multinational companies direct.
