Strategy

Home  >  EN  >  About us  >  Strategy

The Group’s core strategy of delivering long-term sustainable growth is focused on developing its businesses in the UK and internationally, while continuing to improve operational efficiency.

This strategy is underpinned by a constant focus on customer needs and service, selective partnerships and strong financial discipline.

In 2020, the Group has been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Our current focus is safeguarding our people and minimising business disruption.

1. Leveraging Number One Position In The Uk

Bakkavor’s strategy in the UK is to leverage its number one position in the fresh prepared food market to profitably grow the business and generate value for all stakeholders.

We do this by:

  • Strengthening partnership arrangements with existing customers
  • Exploiting insight, innovation and breadth of capability
  • Pursuing strategic investments to accelerate growth and improve returns

We seek to deliver these strategic priorities and enhance our number one position through our dedicated customer teams and our commitment to operational excellence.
