Having celebrated 60 years in business in 2023 , Trevors Foodservice ( Trevors ) is a reliable wholesale distributor operating in the Northwest of England . With over 3000 product lines spanning frozen , ambient , and chilled categories , along with non-food items , the business caters to a diverse customer base such as hotels , schools , care homes , and both independent and multi-site restaurants . As a third-generation family-operated business , Trevors has experienced a unique and complex history . It was founded as a retail store by Trevors Tasker in 1962 , but the Hitchen family ’ s involvement began a year later in 1963 when a young Ken Hitchen joined the business . After purchasing shares in the business in 1969 , Ken and his wife , Heather , took a significant risk by remortgaging their home to purchase the company outright .
