Procurement
The Full Range
The Full Range (TFR) combines market knowledge, manufacturer-supported pricing and client spend of over £70m per annum to give your business big company buying power.
Our extensive network of local and national suppliers means there is no compromise on quality and the model is supplier-funded meaning your business doesn’t pay to benefit from the negotiated rates; 100% of savings generated are retained by the operator and there are no contracts to sign.
Offering clients unrivalled food procurement and purchasing power within the independent hospitality sector, TFR provide businesses the luxury of choice and the peace of mind that you aren’t paying more than you should be.
With rising costs, and so much uncertainty surrounding the future of the Hospitality sector, TFR is there to ensure businesses across the industry can minimise their outlays and maximise profits.
The business works closely with its chosen network of suppliers and believes in true partnerships which are both mutually beneficial and sustainable. Supply agreements cover a wide range of product categories covering all elements of food supply to catering equipment, and non-food.
TFR recognise the growing interest in sustainability and food provenance and can respond to these requirements.
The Full Range aim is to save operators money and to increase the quality and service from suppliers, not compromise it.

A Case Study: The Langham
The supply of top quality fruit & veg is of particular importance to the hotel with a total category spend of over £400k per year.
Nicky and the team at the Full Range conducted a thorough benchmarking exercise of the existing supply base and identified a potential saving of 9% by moving to their nominated supply partner in London. The decision to change supplier was a significant one so it was important to gain the approval of the Executive Chef which The Full Range took responsibility for and facilitated introductory meetings with their chosen supplier. They provided all the necessary product information to allow the details to be uploaded to our e-procurement system and were on hand every step of the way in the implementation phase.
The first orders were placed in November 2016 and volumes have grown since that time, with the majority of spend now with the Full Range supplier. The quality of product and service has been excellent and they achieved savings of £35k+ per year from this single vendor.
I have been working with Nicky since 2013 and in that time, she has been an immense support to me as Procurement Manager of the Langham. She has reviewed and benchmarked our core food categories and identified significant opportunity to consolidate supply and make savings via Full Range suppliers. Nicky is always at the end of the phone to resolve any queries or issues, it’s invaluable to have her involvement in our operation and I would thoroughly recommend The Full Range to any hotel business looking for procurement support and advice.
