Alex Fisher joins e-foods’ board

Ex MD of Bidvest 3663 Alex Fisher has joined the board of e-foods as a non-executive director.

Under Fisher’s leadership, Bidvest 3663’s brand recognition with the public reached a level normally reserved only for major consumer brands and saw its reputation for service and innovation reach award-winning levels. A European quality award and ranking in the Sunday Times’ ” Best Companies To Work For” culminated in the appointment as official supplier to the London 2012 Olympic Games.

e-foods is a company at the forefront of bringing smart online purchasing systems to the food and hospitality industry. The online system allows its clients sites to place a consolidated order that covers multiple suppliers and purchases. This, in turn, generates a consolidated electronic invoice. Clients then make just one single payment to e-foods for all their sites’ suppliers. The result is a dramatic simplification of the purchasing to payment process and makes real the ability to manage an entire supply chain as easily as if it were a single supplier.

Paul Mizen, e-foods’ Managing Director, said “We major in accredited, local supply of fresh produce, meat, dairy and other food lines to national operators in the care, contract catering and hotels sectors. Our solution is uniquely capable in its ability to support local supply through an online system that dramatically simplifies the purchasing process at site level, yet gives oversight and control of spend at head office. We are excited to welcome Alex to the team and are certain his strategic vision and service led operational acumen will be a significant factor in pushing forward e-foods’ growth plans”
