James Sinclair, chief executive of The Partyman Company, has described the acquisition as “a marriage made in heaven” due to the synergies with his other businesses. “Three and a half years ago, I bought the Rossi ice cream company which only had a couple of vans and we were listed with a couple of wholesalers – getting listed with more was like pushing water up a hill,” said the Essex-based entrepreneur.
“I knew if I could buy my own food services business that was operating at scale, just like Café Deli, at the stroke of a pen on contract-signing I’d be able to distribute my products just like that, and that’s what happened.
