What Our Clients Say

"Working with Gourmet Partners has allowed us to enter export markets in a controlled and focused way with a professional and experienced team and without it detracting from the important work we are doing to build the brand here in the UK.”

WENDY WILSON-BETT - CO-OWNER OF PETER'S YARD

“Kent & Fraser could not be more pleased with the value we are deriving from Gourmet Partners.

They are an invaluable resource across several areas of our business including NPD and Marketing, helping us drive sales and brand exposure into our target export markets, as well as with our UK market.

ADRIAN APODACA - BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR OF KENT & FRASER

“Gourmet Partners have our full trust and best interest in mind. They’ve “been there and done that” at Managing Director level, have a superb network, and accelerate our growth, helping us avoid wasting time, effort and money. We wish we’d found them sooner!”

ADRIAN APODACA - BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR OF KENT & FRASER

"Gourmet Partners understand our brand, our customers and our industry with impeccable clarity. In turn, we have been able to tap into their knowledge base of exports sales and their book of contacts to develop an expanding sales funnel into the global marketplace."

EMMA MACDONALD - THE BAY TREE FOOD CO

"The partnership works because Gourmet Partners understand Export. They are introducers and influencers to an otherwise seemingly infinite marketplace and allow business of our size to enter into Exports without the cost or need of our own internal department."

EMMA MACDONALD - THE BAY TREE FOOD CO.

“Stag Bakeries have worked with Gourmet Partners for a number of years and their extensive experience and detailed knowledge of both UK and international markets has been absolutely essential in our drive to achieve growth with our brand." 

DANIEL SMITH – STAG BAKERY

“Gourmet Partners have provided us with crucial insights and guidance across our sales, marketing and NPD efforts and they have effectively represented our brand to clients from all over the globe. They have a wide network of contacts throughout the industry and they have created new connections for Stag Bakeries that otherwise would never have been possible. We strongly recommend them.”

DANIEL SMITH – STAG BAKERY

"Luscombe Drinks worked with Gourmet Partners for two years to help create and execute an export strategy for Europe, Asia and North America. Their in-depth knowledge of each of these markets allowed us to approach key distributors & win new business in our first few months of working together."
