About Booker
Booker Group is a food wholesaler and distributor operating across the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1835 as a wholesale tea dealer by George Booker. Over the years, the company expanded its product range and established a strong presence in the catering and retail industries.
Booker Group is headquartered in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The company offers a wide range of products, including fresh and frozen food, grocery, beverages, tobacco, and non-food items. It serves various sectors such as independent convenience stores, supermarkets, caterers, and restaurants.
Booker Group operates through multiple channels including its retail brands Budgens and Londis, both of which offer a franchise model for independent retailers. On a global scale, Booker Group does not have significant operations outside of the United Kingdom. However, the company has several partnerships and subsidiaries that contribute to its market position.
One notable partnership is with Tesco, a British multinational grocery and merchandise retailer. In 2017, Tesco acquired Booker Group, positioning the combined company as the largest food wholesale operator in the UK. Booker Group's market position in the UK is strong, with a wide customer base and a comprehensive product range.
Prior to the Tesco acquisition, Booker Group reported annual sales of over £5 billion, making it a significant player in the wholesale industry. The company faces competition from other wholesalers like Brakes and Costco, but its network of independently-owned retail brands gives it a unique advantage. In terms of major events, the most significant development in Booker Group's history was the acquisition by Tesco.
This merger allowed Booker Group to access a larger customer base and expand its product offering. Additionally, it enhanced the supply chain capabilities and efficiencies of both companies. As of the latest information available, Booker Group continues to operate as a subsidiary of Tesco, maintaining its own brand identity and serving its customer base.
The company remains focused on delivering high-quality wholesale products and strengthening its position in the market
