​Vision Commercial Kitchens Wins Distributor of the Year North
Vision Commercial Kitchens is delighted to have won Distributor of the Year North at the 2025 Catering Insight Awards. The category recognises outstanding business achievement from distributors across the north of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and included some exceptional finalists.
This year’s vote was extremely close, reflecting the strength of the field, with Vision securing the win by a margin of 4%. The result highlights a year of progress for the business and the collective effort of the entire team.
A Year of Investment and Momentum
In 2025, Vision focused on strengthening its foundations for long-term growth. The business invested in new systems, expanded its leadership team and continued to build capability from its northern base.
Vision’s three warehouses in Heywood, totalling more than 20,000 sq ft, have played an important role in this. The facilities allow the team to hold project-specific stock, consolidate deliveries and procure early, helping to keep regional schemes on track and protected from disruption.
Strong Regional Partnerships
Over the past year, Vision delivered a series of standout projects with key partners across the north, including:
-
Oak View Group on catering facilities at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium
-
Sandman Hotel Group on schemes in Newcastle and Sheffield
-
Morgan Sindall on education facilities, including Dixons Academies
These projects demonstrate the quality and reliability that clients trust Vision to deliver.
Recognition for the Whole Team
Winning Distributor of the Year North is an important milestone and a reflection of the hard work of everyone across the business, along with the ongoing support of clients and suppliers.
Vision congratulates this year’s category finalists: ACME Facilities Group, Dawnvale, Lloyd Catering Equipment and RDA.
"This award means a great deal to us. It reflects the dedication of our team, the trust of our clients and the partnerships that allow us to deliver exceptional work across the region. We have invested heavily this year to build for the future, and this recognition shows that the momentum we are creating is already making an impact."
