Heaven Made deal for Oakland International

With over 25 years experience of making great puddings from their Norfolk kitchens, Heaven Made Foods have called on the expertise of multi temperature supply chain specialist, Oakland International, to help with the planned distribution growth of their delicious range of pudding products.

Using Oakland’s successful case consolidation platform, Heaven Made Foods is looking to expand their existing business by taking advantage of Oakland’s vast retail contacts and industry knowledge.

Heaven Made Foods Managing Director, Simon Spence, stated: “We have been very impressed with Oakland’s can-do attitude and practical approach. Our chilled foods business is growing fast and Oakland is proving to be an extremely professional and competent partner who meets all our complex storage, consolidation and distribution needs.”

Distributing in to the retailer’s RDCs, Oakland will re-work and date code product prior to packing in to special perforated cases ready for case consolidation and onward distribution, with Oakland International selected as Heaven Made Foods distribution partner due to their highly regarded service levels.

Oakland International’s Commercial Director Philip Popp said: “We are pleased to be supporting Heaven Made Foods and contributing to their growth. Using our broad knowledge, extensive service offer and our established retailer distribution network, we are able to offer bespoke solutions to retailers and producers to help them bring an ever increasing range of terrific products to market.”
