Hyperama sells two depots to Dhamecha

Following the recent sale of its foodservice business, wholesaler Hyperama Foods has continued its divestment of depots, selling Nottingham and West Bromwich depots to Dhamecha Group.

Last week, Hyperama announced the sale of its Peterborough depot to London based Holland Bazaar Cash and Carry, following its decision in early October to sell its foodservice delivered business Tiger Foods to Birmingham-based Giro Foods.

“I am delighted to announce the sale of these two depots to Dhamecha Group. I could not have wished for a better business to acquire the sites and take the business forward,” Marcus Singh, Hyperama managing director, said.

“Dhamecha is a fantastic operator and has successfully expanded already into the Midlands and I know I am leaving my employees, customers and suppliers in good hands. I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to God, my parents, and grandparents for providing me with this platform and my supportive wife. I am looking forward now to “turning the page” onto the next chapter of our business development.”

Commenting, John Kinney, managing director of buying group Unitas Wholesale, said: “This is a great acquisition for Dhamecha Group as they continue with their expansion plans outside of London. Knowing the Dhamecha business as I do, I know they will be successful in Nottingham and West Bromwich, and this is only good news for the existing customers in the region and our suppliers who work with them, as I expect to see significant growth from these two sites once the Dhamecha team is fully up and running.

“I am also pleased that Marcus will remain a Unitas Wholesale member with his JK Foods East Asian Foods distribution business, as a longstanding member of Landmark and former Board Member of Unitas Wholesale, it is great that Marcus will still be involved.”

The two Hyperama depots at Nottingham and West Bromwich will transfer to Dhamecha Group effective 14 November.
