When most people think of EF-group, food often comes to mind.

And while we work with some of the UK’s finest suppliers and growers to provide high-quality food products, our capabilities extend far beyond that.

Today, EF-group offers a comprehensive suite of services and products across your wider supply chain – helping care homes streamline operations, save costs, and access top-quality resources from a single trusted partner.

A Wider Range of Products and Services

From laundry services to kitchen fit-outs, chemical products, stationery, uniforms, linen, oil, and more, EF-group is committed to meeting your operational needs.

We understand that running a care home involves far more than sourcing food.

By offering a wide range of products and services, we make it easier for care homes to manage procurement efficiently, through our Freshmarkets solution, while maintaining high standards across every area of their operation.

Leveraging the Power of Foodbuy Group

As part of Foodbuy Group one of the UK’s largest group purchasing organisations, EF-group provides access to over 2,000 suppliers and growers.

The combined buying power of £2.5BN across more than 70 categories ensures that our partners can benefit from:

  • Competitive pricing
  • Extensive choice
  • Unparalleled supply chain expertise

Streamlined Supply, Simplified Operations

Our approach is simple: instead of juggling multiple suppliers, care homes can rely on EF-group as a single point of contact for their supply chain.

This approach saves time, reduces complexity, and allows organisations to focus on delivering quality services to their customers and clients.

And, with Freshmarkets, you can also consolidate your orders and invoicing across all your purchasing, cutting administration time and fees while keeping everything simple and organised.
