Newspaper article

Pro Food Market was created in 1983 by Mr Steve Jones. It started as a local village store selling a variety of products to the people of the village. It remained a family run company until 1991 during which time it had grown tenfold from a local village store to one of the main retailers in South-East England.

In 1991 Pro Food Market survived a hostile takeover bid from one of its competitors. In the same year the company bought Seetail, a medium sized retailer in financial difficulty at the time. Seetail had subsidiaries abroad which gave Pro Food Market the opportunity of establishing international links. As a result of this operation Pro Food Market doubled its turnover and tripled its profits within two years of purchasing Seetail.

The expansion continued when it became a stockmarket listed company in 1993. Due to a new rights issue in 1997, the company was able to increase its capital which allowed it to buy a Dutch retailer. It then became Pro Food Market International. Subsequently a household goods division was created to further develop its distribution range.
In 2005 Mr Jack Taylor became CEO of the company.
