Here at Best Food Logistics, we’re proud to share that we’ve reached a milestone where we have now donated 1.5m meals to FareShare.
Here at Best, it’s important to us that we support our local communities and the planet, this milestone is an example where we have been able to support local charities with food donations which in turn has removed embedded CO2e and water going to waste.

2024 started off with some very exciting news that Best had been awarded the Grocery Aid Silver Award for our contribution in 2023. We are committed to supporting this fantastic Charity and are hoping to achieve the Gold Award this year
On 6th June at Bisham Abbey Best entered a team of 10 people ‘The Best Barmy Army’ to compete in the Booker Dragon Boat Race. 32 teams competed in 2 races with the fastest 4 teams making the final. It was a tough challenge but lots of fun and the team managed to raise £2,625 for the charity.
Best didn’t make the final but came out 10th overall, a brilliant effort…..so bring on 2025!
6 June 2024• Best and Burger King have worked in partnership for 30 years.
• Throughout that time he has seen much change and has been an integral part of our journey together. Bill has been the Burger King Account Manger as Best have gone through 3 different names changes, 3 different owners and has managed the account as we have operated under 4 different contracts together.
• Prior to BKUK becoming the master franchisee, there was a time when Burger King were without a central supply chain resource in the UK. This meant that Bill was the main point of contact in the UK for all Burger King restaurants, franchisees and suppliers. This saw Bill often supporting the Burger King business way beyond his job description to ensure the smooth execution of key business activities such a new restaurant openings, promotional activity and menu changes to name a few.
• While things are structurally much more different today Bill is integral to our strong partnership. His exemplary planning, organisation and communication skills supported by his personable, collaborative nature and, not to mention his unique charm and wit, have continue to be a fundamental part of our success.
• He has an abundance of experience and is commercially and operationally savvy and another huge quality is his people orientation. He always has time for his colleagues, peers, and partners, offering support and coaching where it is asked for and is also embraces continuous improvement where it is warranted. Bill is a true force of nature, he is massively respected and appreciated by all of his colleagues at Best Food Logistics
