Kent-based foodservice wholesaler KFF (or ‘kff’) has appointed Mark Taylor as its new managing director.

Sysco-owned KFF provides a range of food to local pubs, restaurants, schools and other venues serving food, and said it has “a particular emphasis on supplying local produce” from food companies across Kent and the South-East.

Taylor joins KFF having spent 10 years working in various roles across Sysco’s British businesses, seven of which were spent at sister company Brakes.

KFF said Taylor has “extensive experience in operational roles”, and will replace the outgoing Phillip White in the position.

On his appointment, Taylor said: “I am very excited by the opportunity at KFF. The business has an enviable reputation for customer service and product quality. With a talented team already in place, we have great plans to grow our customer base and continue to develop sales of our fantastic range of locally sourced products.”
