Let us help you with:
Total clarity from source to supply.
Purchasing starts at the source. With understanding where our food come from, and tracing its path to our plates. We take a diligent approach to sourcing new opportunities for our customers, making sure every supplier we work with is fully accredited and regularly audited.
Our network is underpinned by ethics and sustainability, and we only work with suppliers who meet our environmental and welfare standards. Work with us, and you support a supply chain that puts people and planet first. And that’s something to feel good about.
People who buy for people.
AVE are industry experts, operating across the whole of food and non-food supply. We work within hospitality, leisure, healthcare, and education, providing everything from food consultancy to procurement services to supply chain management.
Working with us guarantees access to a supply chain that is safe, sustainable, and sourced with appropriate governance and traceability. From fully managed solutions to tailored packages that fit your needs, we’re the purchasing partner you’ve been waiting for.
Sustainability.
Learn moreTransparent sourcing.
We take sourcing and provenance extremely seriously. In regular contact with our suppliers, we make sure our supply chain is robust, ethical, and environmentally friendly. That means fewer chemicals, lower emissions, and greater biodiversity. When our customers buy with us, they’re buying for the planet too.
Positive impact.
Having a positive impact on people and planet means fostering wellbeing at every stage of our supply chain – inside and outside our organisation. It means continually improving our services, delivering quality for our clients, and leaving the world of purchasing more ethical than we found it.
Carbon footprint.
Committed to achieving net zero by 2050, we’re always looking for ways to reduce our impact and help our customers do the same. Clear traceability, local produce, and carbon footprinting of menus and ingredients means we step closer to zero carbon every day.
