RICHARD JOINS CENTRAL FOODS


Frozen food distributor Central Foods has appointed Richard Clegg as business development manager. Richard (pictured) brings a


wealth of experience to the company, having worked across the food service sector in various roles, starting off as a van driver, working his way up through the warehouse/ telesales, training and working as a chef, through to managing multiple wholesale accounts. His position at Northamptonshire-based Central Foods will involve taking care of the Caterforce consortium, Country Range group and key end-user accounts. Gordon Lauder, managing


director of Central Foods, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Richard to Central Foods. He has experience throughout the full supply chain and right across the foodservice sector.” Central Foods is one of the

JUICE PROGRAMMES HAVE BOTTLED THEIR SUCCESS


Healthy Stuff Online’s Juice Programmes brand has just had another record month following the launch of an additional tasty juice detox range. With offices in Northampton,


Juice Programmes has reported a seven per cent increase in profits thanks to the Starter Range, a set of freshly-made juices delivered to your door which not only taste great but are full of real nutrition too. Healthy Stuff Online managing director Carl Raven said: “This cleanse was designed for those who have never tried a juice


programme before and could be worried about the idea of drinking juice for three, five or seven days. “The new range has been an


instant hit and is especially popular with businesses, who are jumping on the idea of ‘group detoxes’ to allow staff to feel great at work, while losing weight. “We have also launched a range


of ‘detox teas’ which are specifically designed to help you


get the most of your cleanse, as well as helping you feel less hungry and sleep better. These morning and evening teas taste great, boost your cleanse and are completely natural, like the whole Juice Programmes range. “Juice Programmes works with


many businesses in the Northampton area, and has seen amazing growth following the new range, local events and a vastly improved next day delivery service.”
