WHO ARE WE?

To put it simply; we are a hospitality provider. BaxterStorey's heritage has been built on sustainably sourcing fresh, seasonal, local produce, combined with dedicated training and development for our people.

Since BaxterStorey started, we have established great partnerships with a series of farmers, producers and artisan food suppliers. We work closely with these groups who are now key to our business. They help us ensure that we can meet our commitment to sourcing from local suppliers, in turn reducing road miles whilst supporting local communities.
