Henderson Foodservice
Henderson Foodservice is a leading supplier to the foodservice industry across the island of Ireland. The company sources and supplies a range of over 6,500 products to over 4,500 customers across 11 sectors, including hotels, restaurants, pubs, public sector offices, schools and hospitals.
Henderson Foodservice is the exclusive supplier in Northern Ireland of K&G McAtamney Wholesale Meats, driving volumes of beef, pork and lamb products that have been sourced from local farms through McAtamney’s Ballymena factory and out to the company’s hospitality customers. The announcement came after a £4.5M investment from Gordon McAtamney in the wholesale business, developing the company’s AA grade BRC approved premises in Ballymena into a 40,000 sq. ft. factory and introducing industry leading processing machinery, whilst creating an additional 40 jobs in the local area.
Henderson Foodservice is also the exclusive supplier for the island of Ireland of The Food Heroes brand, Koffmann’s – the leading frozen potato and chips range from renowned chef, Pierre Koffmann and his family.
The company has invested significantly in its online ordering platform, making it even easier for customers to place their orders with the suppliers that Henderson Foodservice works with. The commitment into their e-commerce and tech offering has seen the company win some significant awards in recent years, including the FWD (Federation of Wholesale Distributors) Gold Medal Awards, the Irish e-Comm Awards and the Institute of Hospitality Awards.
Henderson Foodservice developed the Barista Bar coffee brand in 2019, which is now available in 450 SPAR, EUROSPAR and ViVO stores in Northern Ireland, 49 Co-Op sites in the East of England and the company has recently agreed to supply to 104 SPAR Scotland stores. In 2024, Barista Bar launched the ‘My Barista Bar Rewards+’ app, digitising the brand’s loyalty scheme and streamlining communications with users.
