What our clients say…

  • Glenn Woodcock, Director, Dynamic Procurement UK (DPUK) and Founder at Global City Futures

    “We appointed the Emfood team as coordinators for DPUK in 2021. Their specialist knowledge and experience in the field of Dynamic Food Procurement is, in my opinion, unsurpassed by any party globally. Their contribution has been an invaluable asset and has contributed to the success of the DPUK project with several regions of the UK now taking up the challenge to transform public food procurement to adopt more short food supply chains.”

  • Richard Howroyd, Head of Strategic Procurement & Commissioning, Bath & North East Somerset Council

    “We have the potential here to be an absolute game changer for something that you within your local authority or within your government department or within your hospital can improve the standards of provision and help your organisation maintain relatively competitive costs. It [AgileChain] is the most innovative solution I’ve worked with in my procurement life, and I am very keen to see it working in other areas of the public sector.”

  • Stephen Beech, CEO of Entegra, Sodexo's Group Purchasing Organisation

    “We, at Entegra, have greatly appreciated the support we have enjoyed from Emfood consultants over the past couple of years. We’re on an inspiring journey to provide our hotel and restaurant catering clients more efficient and sustainable short food supply chains by enabling our supply-side partners with smart AgileChain automation technology. The Emfood team have been absolutely critical to this work, delivering with rigour and diligence to enable our mission of bringing greater resilience, value and sustainability to our supply chain.”
