The business who supplied Wasabi, You Me Sushi and schools are also now selling to the public.
Sezer Ozkul, Chief Products Officer told FEMAIL: ‘Our business literally changed overnight – on March 21st we had an emergency strategy meeting.
‘By the end of the day, our Next Day Home Delivery Service was live, offering next day deliveries for orders placed by 9pm with a minimum order of just £79.
‘We advertised this via a social media and the response has been extremely positive – we are taking on new customers every day and the messages to our customers services team have increased 400 per cent as more people are making inquiries about setting up a new account.
‘This will probably come as no surprise, but our toilet roll sales increased by 150 per cent – we were selling up to five containers more per week. Pasta, hand wash and bizarrely fresh chicken sales also went up significantly. To better support households, we are increasing our range of smaller pack sizes for essential household groceries such as cheese, tea bags, fresh vegetables and fruits.

La Tua Pasta

Patricia Adrian-Hanson Director of La Tua Pasta told FEMAIL they lost 80 per cent of their business when restaurants closed, but were offering to customers within five days.
‘Early on in this crisis, we decided we were going to fight for our business because we wanted to save our team and very importantly because we made it our mission to continue to feed people across the country. As elements of the normal food supply chain started to crumble for the NHS we also said whatever we could do to sustain the frontline heroes – we would do it.
‘At first friends started to contact us as they had set up a crowd funded charity called “Frontline NHS Fund”, then we reached out to the Conduit Club, Rocket Catering + other large hospital caterers to see how we could work together, and now we’re donating hundreds of meals every week to four different hospitals.
‘Every time someone places an order with us we donate another meal + we also give anyone from the NHS 50% off any purchase from our site. We will not be beaten, we’re keeping the pasta rolling + we’re aiming to provide 10,000 meals to the NHS.

Volcano Coffee Works
Order online for home delivery
Emma Loisel, is co-founder and chair, of Volcano Coffee Works, which supplied more than 350 cafes, restaurants and hotels across the UK and in Paris.
‘We already sold direct to consumer, but it was less than 2 per cent of our overall revenue. Online sales via our website have grown by 680 per cent in three weeks – but it’s still less than 10 per cent of our revenues before Covid-19,’ she said.
‘Consumers buying for home use order small quantities – either a couple of 200kg bags or a 1 kg bag.
‘Packing and posting a much higher quantity of orders is labour intensive and time consuming, we are having to quickly establish new working practices and processes to make sure we can fill these orders. If consumers could do one order for their coffee needs for the next few weeks that will help us and Royal Mail keep up.’

Darren Labbett the managing director of Woods Foodservice said: ‘We bought in fresh fruit, vegetables, salad and fresh meat boxes to be able to offer a one stop shop, these are very popular. However, it seems that everybody wants toilet rolls and pasta. Luckily we have plenty of both,’ Mr Labbett explained.
He added that they’ve seen sales of bread flour and yeast shoot up, as people try and make their own bread and cakes at home.
‘As our turnover increases we are able to gradually ask furloughed staff to come back to ensure we keep up with demand.’

Julie Dunn told FEMAIL her family run business lost 70 per cent of business when the lockdown hit.
The company, supply the prestigious Gleneagles golf course as well as DiMaggios, Montpeiirs and Hawksmoor restaurants.
Ms Dunn said people are buying cleaning materials and toilet rolls, bread, milk, eggs, sugar, flour, butter, pasta, and wine but their luxury food items are not being purchased.
‘We have been surprised by the number of people interested in catering pack sizes – so – perfectly happy to take 16kg of flour in order to bake for their neighbours. Nice community spirit.
‘Although most callers are looking for the staples just now, possibly once we are all more used to life in isolation, home cooking will be a pleasant time filler for the family which is why we are posting recipe ideas every day through social media because with 6,500 lines available it is most probable that the home cooks can achieve a global kitchen through Dunns.’

Bidfood one of the UK’s largest foodservice providers was forced to change its business model overnight to support the growing demand for supplies during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Earlier this month, Bidfood and Brakes announced they would be joining forces to support a new government initiative to ensure that vital food supplies reach the country’s most vulnerable people during the coronavirus crisis.
The initiative sees the two companies working together to deliver potentially hundreds of thousands of weekly care packages across the country to people at high risk from the virus, who are not able to get easy access to food.

Fresh Pastures
Order online for delivery in selected postcodes across the north of England here
Dawn Carney, Managing Director of Fresh Pastures, told Femail: ‘Fresh Pastures has changed rapidly since the Covid-19 lockdown. Traditionally we are a distribution business that supplies 3,000 schools and public venues with milk and morning goods. But, when schools and leisure businesses closed, 97% of our business ceased.’
‘We had no choice; to survive, we had to think innovatively and change our entire operation overnight. So we focused on our distribution infrastructure, knowing that it could play a vital role in supporting our society to ensure children, the vulnerable, the elderly and those self-isolating could receive nutritious food during the coronavirus crisis.’
‘That was three weeks ago and our business continues to change daily. Within the first few days, we had set up an e-commerce site to support an online delivery service; this has seen us extend our business network to include care homes and also homes for the very first time. We also secured lunchbox contracts with local authorities still supporting youngsters in schools.’
‘Within a week we introduced other produce, such as veg boxes. We are now working towards delivering a wide variety of daily essentials including tea, coffee and flour. By moving quickly and working collaboratively, we are proving that businesses like ours can provide essential support under extreme pressures and rapidly changing circumstances to play a vital part in helping our communities through this extraordinary period.’
