DELI retailer Benugo has been bought by BaxterStorey following the independent food service provider’s integration of contract caterers Holroyd Howe into the company at the end of 2007.
Prior to the merger, BaxterStorey and Holroyd Howe had respective turnovers of £133m and £45m.
There are 20 Benugo outlets across London, including several office outlets, a site at St Pancras station and at the British Film Institute, plus five in Japan.
Benugo was founded by Ben and Hugo Warner, who also have financial interest in Will Ricker’s E&O and Eight Over Eight.
Ben Warner said, “[BaxterStorey’s] experience, resources and obvious commitment to Benugo’s continued success is why we’ve jumped at this opportunity.
"My brother Hugh and I will remain at the forefront of Benugo’s future, something very important to us.”
