Peterlee catering supplier opens central showroom in major London design centre

A North East hospitality and catering industry supplier has opened a central London showroom.

The IG Group, based in Peterlee, County Durham, is to open at Islington’s Business Design Centre, where it will showcase its brands.

For over 40 years, the family-owned business has supplied glassware, cookware, ceramics, crockery, knives and other products to a rapidly-expanding customer base.

This includes some of the country’s leading pub chains, restaurants and bars under both its ‘exclusive’ and ‘established’ brands.

The IG Group has a continually growing number of exclusive brands for which it is the sole distributor in the UK, including RAK, Sango, Heritage, Casa Alegre, Minster cutlery and Metropolitan glassware which will be on display in the new showroom from August.

Stephen Hoey, CEO of The IG Group, added: “We are already getting a very positive response from distributors and wholesalers through Shane. And now we will have a central showroom for them to see our products on display in what is a fantastic location.

“This is all part of our long term growth plans to strengthen and consolidate our presence in London and the south.”
