The investment from Pentland Group dramatically changed the financial reach of Acme. Acme were able to hold more stock and receive bigger shipments, enabling us to achieve economies of scale that we never had before. Through this, group relationships with manufacturers grew, and this eventually led to Pentland Group establishing a new catering distribution company in 1993. As an entirely separate entity to Acme, it has become one of the UK’s largest and most respected distributors of catering and refrigeration equipment. See www.pentlandwholesale.co.uk for more.
