As the out-of-home division of RCL FOODS based in Durban, Food Partners is one of the biggest food-service companies in Africa.

They serve a multitude of different businesses in a multitude of channels, from quick-service restaurants, contract caterers and hotels to retail delis, forecourts and bakeries.

From their early days in chicken, the division has grown to offer an extensive range of product solutions including pies, mayonnaise, sugar, flour, peanut butter, rusks and, more recently, spreads and dairy cream alternatives.

“The Food Partners team is made up of great people who do extraordinary things daily,” says Channel Marketing Executive Edwin Ukama. “We are more than the sum of our parts. We are driven and determined and enjoy working together. It also does not hurt that we get to taste a lot of food!”

As their name suggests, the Food Partners team are passionate about food and working with its customers to help them succeed.

“One of the highlights of my food career has been our partnership with the #OneMealManyThanks restaurant campaign,” Customer Executive Stewart Jones says. “This type of collaboration with other food-service suppliers and representative bodies is a first for our industry and has allowed us to pool resources to help drive consumer footfall and restore restaurants to safe operations.”
