Impact of the budget on hospitality, foodservice and the supply chain
Like last year, today’s budget once again gives little to be positive about. The 5p discount to hospitality and leisure business rates is unlikely to bring much benefit, against a backdrop of rising costs from increases to the minimum wage, and last year’s hikes in employer National Insurance contributions. Whilst we wait to see the full details, as a business, the increases on business rates to large warehouses and the removal of National Insurance relief on salary sacrifice pension contributions over £2,000 will have a significant impact on the costs within our supply chain. It is clear that the government still does not fully recognise the importance of business growth or the vital role that hospitality, foodservice and wholesaler sectors play in our economy and society, and the acute nature of the challenges they face. Andrew Selley, CEO Bidfood UK-
Response to hospitality job losses
The latest figures from UK Hospitality reveal that of the 164,641 job losses across the UK since last October’s Budget, almost 89,000 have come from hospitality alone. This means our sector accounts for more than half of all redundancies - a stark reminder that pubs, restaurants, bars and hotels are being pushed beyond breaking point. While we welcome recent government steps, such as the 40% rates relief for 2025/26 and plans to consider lower multipliers from 2026, these measures are not enough to offset the tax increases and rising costs that have disproportionately hit hospitality. We support UK Hospitality’s call for urgent action at the November Budget. The Chancellor must urgently consider applying the maximum discount to the multiplier for hospitality properties under £500,000, pause measures that would drive up costs further, and bring forward targeted reliefs to safeguard jobs. Without decisive intervention, more businesses will close and communities across the UK will lose not only vital local venues but also the livelihoods they sustain. Andrew Selley, CEO Bidcorp UK -
Response to national food strategy
At Bidfood, we welcome the government’s commitment to building a more secure, sustainable, and resilient food system. Now more than ever, it is vital to rethink how we produce, manufacture, distribute, and sell food to create a fairer system for all. Addressing today’s urgent challenges will require real commitment and a coordinated strategy that ensures food is secure, nutritious, sustainable, and affordable for families now and for future generations. We are proud to continue playing our part in shaping a food system that works for people, businesses, and the planet. Andrew Selley – CEO, Bidcorp -
Support for pubs
As one of the largest suppliers to the pub sector, we stand firmly behind publicans as we approach the Autumn Budget. We urge the government to urgently address the severe challenges currently faced across hospitality, and in particular within the pub industry. Publicans need a fairer and more balanced tax framework - one that enables them to turn sales into sustainable profits, attract ongoing investment, and safeguard vital community spaces. The pub sector continues to provide an essential pathway into employment for young and talented people. To protect these opportunities, and the jobs and working hours they create, we call for meaningful policy change from government. Chris Palethorpe, Client Director for pubs at Bidfood -
Increase in meat prices
You may have seen that in recent months meat prices in the UK have risen sharply, especially beef which is up 30 to 40% compared to last year. This is due to a combination of factors including reduced supply, increased demand globally, higher costs such as National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Insurance (NI), weather issues, feed and fuel costs, and post-Brexit tariffs. Due to these challenges, especially the rise in NI and NMW, it is clear the farming industry needs support and investment to survive. Previous removal of inheritance tax benefits and subsidies has hurt farmers, evidenced by over 30 farms being forced to close in Scotland alone over the past 12-18 months. There is hope for support in the Autumn budget, but for now it remains a volatile environment. – Neil McCole, Director of Sales at Campbell Brothers -
Proposed removal of skilled hospitality workers
As a key supplier to the UK hospitality sector, Bidfood is voicing the concerns shared across the industry regarding the planned removal of key hospitality roles from the Skilled Worker visa route from 22 July 2025. Roles such as chefs, restaurant and catering managers, and hotel and bar supervisors are vital to the success and smooth operation of hospitality businesses. Removing these roles from eligibility risks worsening the already critical labour shortages faced by venues across the country. We urge the government to consult closely with hospitality leaders on this issue as, if implemented, this policy change undermines the sector’s ability to recruit essential talent at a time when the industry is still grappling with many challenges. It’s important to remember that the hospitality industry plays a vital role in the UK economy and needs a workforce strategy that recognises its value and supports its future. – Nicola Holden, Sales Director -
Smaller school meal portions
We’ve seen the recent reports highlighting concerns over reduced portion sizes and lower meat content in school lunches, and we understand the concern around this. School catering teams are facing unprecedented pressures, from rising food costs and tight budgets to increasing dietary and sustainability demands, resulting in difficult decisions in school kitchens across the country. While changes to meal composition can sometimes reflect wider economic pressures, our goal remains to support schools in providing children with meals that are nourishing, satisfying, and aligned with school food standards. We continue to advocate for greater investment in school catering and are actively collaborating with local authorities and partners to ensure that every child receives the quality meals they deserve. – Gavin Squires, Business Development Controller for Education & Healthcare -
Free school meals extension
“I’m delighted by the UK government’s recent announcement that an additional half a million children will receive free school meals. “Bidfood and I have long campaigned for the expansion of healthy, free school meals, and I’m proud to see the collective efforts beginning to deliver real, positive change. This is a promising step towards the support we’ve all been hoping for. “It is also pleasing to see the School Food Standards is set to be updated to align to the latest guidance on nutrition, which along with our expert nutrition team, we will look to engage with the government on any changes that are implemented. “That said, while this news is both welcome and encouraging, it’s crucial that we now see a fundamental increase in funding to ensure the long-term sustainability of this vital service. I look forward to Bidfood continuing to be a strong voice in this important conversation.” -
Sugar Tax changes
“Recently the government has proposed changes to the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL), which was originally implemented in 2018. These proposed changes include lowering the 5g sugar threshold and removing the exemption for milk-based drink and milk substitute drinks such as milkshakes and iced coffees. “The SDIL has achieved great success so far, with 46% of the sugar being removed by the drinks in scope already, and we hope that future changes to the levy will continue to incentivise industry and reduce sugar consumption further. “However, tackling obesity requires a multi-faceted approach. Whilst a sugar tax has been seen to be successful for soft drinks so far, it does not mean it would have the same success if applied to other food types. Like voluntary industry programmes, restrictions on less healthy foods and education for consumers may yield better results.” – Samantha Mollart, Senior Allergen and Nutrition Manager -
The Extended Producer Responsibility Legislation (EPR)
The Extended Producer Responsibility Legislation (EPR) has been introduced to hold producers responsible for paying the full cost of managing and recycling the packaging waste from their products. However, although the principles of EPR make sense, some of the practical applications are much less well thought through. EPR has been years in planning, but even now we do not have confirmed rates that will be applied for the charges applicable to businesses for products that could be deemed relevant for street bin or house hold waste. Businesses predominantly operating through B2B channels are expected to pay EPR fees on all products sold as it cannot be determined whether these are sold through B2B or B2C channels. However, this is likely to place an incorrect charge on B2B businesses, such as wholesalers, who may in turn be forced to increase prices. It is disappointing that although we have raised these issues with DEFRA, they seemed uninterested, taking the view that these are minor issues in the context of the wider picture. . – Jim Gouldie, Supply Chain and Technical Services Director.

Bidfood’s response to the FSA allergy guidance
Allergens remains a key focus for us at Bidfood and we welcome the new allergy information guidance for non-prepacked foods. Out of home businesses are extremely diverse, varying in size, often operate across multiple sites and serving food in a variety of ways. Therefore, flexibility is crucial to this guidance. We’re pleased to see the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have taken into consideration some of the concerns of the industry, adopting a more flexible approach that advises businesses on different options to deliver clear written and verbal information to consumers as not ones size can fit all. Although not a legal requirement, this will hopefully help to raise allergen management standards and ensure operators are meeting their consumer expectations in a way that works for their businesses. -Samantha Mollart, Senior Allergen and Nutrition Manager -
Bidfood’s review of calorie labelling
A recent review into the impact of calorie labelling in supermarkets, restaurants and other food outlets determined that there has been a small reduction in calories people purchased and consumed, equating to around two almonds per meal. This may feel insignificant, however if sustained over a long time this can still have an impact at a population level. At Bidfood, we agree that a multifaceted approach is needed to tackle obesity and improve the health of the population, remembering that calorie labelling is no silver bullet. This is why our nutrition strategy focuses on a broader approach to health and wellbeing and aligns to government policies, industry guidance and healthy eating initiatives. We must also remember that everyone has a different relationship with food and seeing the calorie count may help some, but for others it can have a negative effect. It is therefore incredibly important that menus without calorie information can continue to be shared with the consumer at their express request to support them in their meal experience. - Samantha Mollart, Senior Allergen and Nutrition Manager.

What does AI mean for Wholesale?
Hearing The Prime Minister set out his commitment to the rollout of AI technology across the UK is certainly something that we as an industry can get excited about. Many within wholesale and foodservice have already started to implement new technologies that incorporate AI, identifying it as an important tool that could create efficiencies, increase effectiveness and support the customer experience. AI and advanced analytics continue to develop at an incredible pace and what we see as new technology today, could be old news in the near future. In order to operate an efficient business, these tools should be embraced but, approached with caution, to ensure tools and data are fully understood before being used.- Ian Moore, Strategy & Digital Director at Bidfood -
Farming Protests
In the wake of the recent protests, we sympathise with those farmers that have taken to the streets to express their concerns around the changes to inheritance tax. British farmers produce food to some of the highest standards across the world, but these changes suggest a lack of appreciation or understanding by government towards the farming process. The illusion of generational farmers sitting on considerable wealth is in most cases inaccurate, with most annual incomes reflecting modest figures. It is likely that unless the Government reconsider their stance on the proposed changes to inheritance tax, many farming families will struggle to continue. – Lee Callon, Head of Buying, Oliver Kay -
Pubs reaction to the budget
“Following the disappointing Autumn Budget, Bidfood is very aware that pub operators are predicted to suffer. The National Insurance increase and lowering of the threshold will weigh heavily on many pub operators who rely on part-time staff. Increases to the minimum wage and removal of business rate support also put many small businesses at risk. “Pubs are the heartbeat of many communities, offering delicious food and drink while providing a place where people can come together, unwind and enjoy themselves. We know how important a good food offer is to our customers and the critical part it plays in helping them make a sustainable profit. “We absolutely support the call to government for swift and decisive reforms to employers NICs so we don’t lose these wonderful businesses.” - Chris Palethorpe, Client Director, Pubs -
Bidfood calls on Prime Minister to ring-fence school meals funding – Gavin Squires, Business Development Controller, Education & Healthcare
“School meals is a topic area that has been highlighted by countless industry bodies whose voices continue to be either ignored or not understood. This has therefore result that unless urgent action is taken by the Government, the school meals service will be non-existent in some areas of the country and under severe threat of failure in most. Our third annual paper highlights, in a non-political way and with absolute fact, the cause and effect of previous and current Government action, along with the key elements to review, acknowledge and take action on in order for the school meal provision to simply survive and reverse what could be the loss of a critical service being made available to all of our children in state education.” -

Budget reaction statement 2024 - Andrew Selley, CEO Bidcorp UK
30/10/24 “Following the announcement of the budget today, it’s hard to have a positive outlook. For the government to say “invest, invest, invest”, whilst costing businesses £25billion in NI changes is ludicrous. “Two thirds of our suppliers and customers are SME’s and many will struggle to survive these tax hikes on top of the minimum wage increase and employment rights bill. “It seems clear that the government either don’t understand or don’t care about business growth and the prosperity this brings to our country.” - Andrew Selley, CEO Bidcorp UK -
