“BRAMMER DIXON only work with small companies who are too small to have their own purchasing department.”

Wrong – Although we do work with some small companies, Merlin Entertainments is the second largest leisure operator in the World and the largest in Europe. Stonegate Pub Company is the largest independent pub group in the UK.

“BRAMMER DIXON only do short term projects or consultancy work.”

Wrong – we can and do deliver short term projects, but we are very proud to have worked with Massarella Catering Group continuously since 1994, Merlin Entertainments now for eight years, and JD Wetherspoon and RoadChef for seven years.

“I can’t work with a Purchasing Company, who is not in Head Office, we need to interface with NPD and Marketing etc…”

Interface and integration into our clients business is a primary goal and one of our key strengths. We have a great track record in adding value by facilitating and forging links to all relevant departments in the clients business including NPD Managers, Commercial Managers, IT, Marketing, Health & Safety and all others that are instrumental in a best in class procurement function. 

“What is so special about this buying group.”

Simple – we are NOT a buying group. We are not a company offering group deals that mean that your Fruit & Veg have to be supplied by Supplier A, or your Meat from Supplier B.

One of our company Ideals is Neutrality, our ethos has always been to provide a purchasing service to our clients requirements, never to shoehorn our ‘best deals’ into customers.

“I already have a purchasing team.”

So do Stonegate Pub Company, Merlin Entertainments and Principal Hayley Hotels. We have a proven ability to fit within the structure of any purchasing department, managing specific categories and working to the same overall goals as the wider team.

“I’ll just recruit a Purchasing Manager.”

What BRAMMER DIXON offer is a cost effective, and very experienced resource. By using our services, you do not need to;

            Place a job advert

            Hire a recruitment consultant

            Wait for your preferred candidate to work a notice period

            Pay for a car, a phone, lap top and other associated overheads.

            Provide cover for that person for circa 25 days annual leave

And then, do all of the above again...

        as the ‘new employee’ moves on

“BRAMMER DIXON only work in certain sectors.”

Collectively we have experience in;

            Leisure and Theme Parks

            Hotels

            In Flight Catering

            Rail Catering

            In Store / Retail catering

            Motorway Service Areas

            Pub Groups

            Casual Dining

            Sandwich Chains

Contract Catering

Hospital Catering

Coffee Shops

If it is under the umbrella of Foodservice, then the chances are we have experience in that sector.

“BRAMMER DIXON only do Central Distribution work.”

Our experience at managing central distribution contracts is second to none, however that does not mean that all our clients must use a central distribution contract. Merlin Entertainments and Principal Hayley Hotels do not use central distribution as it not the optimum solution for them, given their current profile.
