allmanhall announces a bright future in the form of a new non-executive director and a partnership with Buyers Edge Platform

Overview

Since we were founded in 2006, allmanhall has been committed to supportive relationships and the on-going enhancement of practices, systems and technology to drive improvements, for the benefit of our clients, our supplier partners, and our expert team.

In February 2025 allmanhall announced that we have taken a strategic minority investment from Buyers Edge Platform, the world’s largest tech enabled Group Purchasing Organisations (GPO). The two companies will form a strategic alliance to support the increasingly held view in the UK market, that 3rd party procurement solutions are better delivered by independent experts than by large contract catering corporations.

We remain owner-managed and are excited about the possibilities created by this new chapter.

“Our mission is to be a leading provider of world-class food procurement solutions in our marketplace. We are thrilled to partner with Buyers Edge to help us achieve that mission. We are two family-owned and family-run businesses sharing a similar philosophy towards our client relationships and supply chain partners. allmanhall has enjoyed record growth in recent years and this investment will ensure we continue to remain a market leader, whilst investing in improvements and outstanding service and support for our valued clients and team.” – Oliver Hall, allmanhall’s managing director and co-founder.
“The vision of Buyers Edge Platform is to bring the foodservice industry’s most successful companies together to create new value for foodservice clients and the industry at large,” adds John Davie, CEO and founder of Buyers Edge Platform. “Our partnership with allmanhall means we become a leading provider of 3rd party food procurement in the UK, which is an important market for us.”
Specifically, through the partnership, allmanhall and Buyers Edge will share access to cutting edge technologies, resources, and best practices. Combined, the two partners represent more than £300m purchasing power in the UK, enabling them to deliver benefit to clients, distributors, and manufacturer partners alike.
Chair and co-founder of allmanhall, Edward Hall goes on to say: “I’m very excited to partner with Buyers Edge Platform. This strategic partnership is an important step as we build the next generation of our family business. Our team, clients and supplier partners are the reason we are here today and we remain committed to them and to offering even greater support and value into the future.”
