Prescott-Thomas Limited is now in their 7th
successive
year with turnover going from 3million to 9million
in a very
short period.
The company was originally R.A Prescott but Peter
Thomas the present owner didn't want to dissolve
the name of Prescott as they were an old established
company who were in the business for over 100years,
so he kept the name Prescott and added his own
name hence "Prescott-Thomas".
He puts his success down to head hunting good
quality players who he knows will produce the
goods on the day "everyday".
Peter is a very dedicated business man
who realises that complacency is your biggest enemy
and the moment you take your finger off the button is
when competitors start to get too close and take advantage.
Prescott-Thomas is very quality conscious and realise
the standards that their customer base require. They
have a vast customer base ranging from local schools,
selective private schools, hospitals (Private and NHS),
pub chains, restaurants and 5star hotels including some
very prestigious clientele.
Peter believes that if you put enough efforts into something
and be prepared to go that extra mile, you will automatically
breed success, he says that this is the only way he
knows and he likes to think that all his staff, all
95 of them, have picked up on his enthusiasm.
Prescott-Thomas sells a wide selection of fresh fruit
and vegetables, frozen produce and dairy goods, and
they have just recently branched into the organic market
which Peter feels is now here to stay.
Because of the experience of the staff that Prescott-Thomas
have on board they all realise the importance of customer
relations, and our telesales staff are "second
to none" regarding dealing with queries, orders
or any problems a customer might have.
Peter Thomas and his company achieved the accreditation
of a "BRC Higher Level" certificate when he
first took over the company and has maintained that
status which is a tremendous achievement in the fresh
produce industry.
Although Peter is a believer in consolidation in the
business he realises that you have to keep going forward
to be able to stand still, and he would also like to
add how very important "Spitafields Market"
has been in the continued success of Prescott-Thomas
Ltd and is eternally grateful for the support that the
market has given him over the last 30years.
He would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody
once again as he takes the business to another level
as Peter freely admits he could never have achieved
what he has done without the full support of the market
and everybody in it.
