OUR HISTORY<br />
1940<br />
<strong>JMP</strong> Foodservice opens selling eggs<br />
in the 1940s by James Metcalfe Pratt,<br />
at Birks Mill, Sedbergh.<br />
1960<br />
James’ son, Denis Pratt joined the<br />
business in the 1960s, when they started<br />
stocking frozen products. He is still part<br />
of the company today, with his daughters<br />
Anne Benville and Jill Fearnhead.<br />

<strong>JMP</strong> Foodservice joined Fairway<br />
Foodservice. We also stopped focusing<br />
on eggs to concentrate on the frozen<br />
food sector.<br />

In 2003 we introduced Ambient, Chilled,<br />
Cleaning and Disposable products.<br />

the office building and were finalists at<br />
the Cumbria Family Business Awards.<br />
