With a diverse catalogue ranging from cream, eggs, liquid egg, milk, butter, yogurt, cheese to even dairy free alternatives, Foodspeed caters to a broad spectrum of culinary needs. Clients include prestigious institutions such as the Royal Palaces and many of London’s leading chefs… making this project in the food products industry a trusted name in hospitality.

Product Range and Quality
Extensive and diverse, the product range covers the best of British and Continental brands. Foodspeed offers everything from milk, cream, yogurt, butter & spreads, cheese and eggs (including liquid egg) to speciality items such as herbs and spices, canned goods, and even nuts and seeds. Artisanal and craft producers are well represented alongside major brands, ensuring that every need is met. Dairy-free alternatives are also available from top brands like Oatly, Alpro, Violife and Cocos—a solution for almost every dairy product and a nod to current food trends. Local producers and independent farms are frequently championed, with products sourced from suppliers less than 10 miles away, helping reduce food miles from farm to fridge.
Commitment to Sustainability
Embodying a forward-thinking stance, Foodspeed is serious about sustainability. The operations are 100% carbon neutral and supported by a robust B Corp certification with a score of 80.3, underscoring top-tier social and environmental performance. Sustainability efforts are meticulously monitored with independent certification by Planet Mark, ensuring the carbon footprint is tracked annually. Such commitment is further echoed by sourcing practices; for example, fresh milk is obtained from local suppliers within 10 miles of the West London distribution centre, while other delicacies like Tims Dairy Yogurts and Mediterranean salads and dips travel just a few miles. This approach not only enhances quality but also resonates with eco-conscious consumers.

The friendly, highly trained staff ensure that every order—be it a delivery of fresh milk, organic cream, eggs or even specialist items like free range cheese and dairy alternatives—is executed with precision and care.
