Forerunner Personal Catering Ltd, located in Dorset, has been successfully acquired by the corporate entity Canonbury Group in a deal brokered by Kings Corporate.

Forerunner Personal Catering Ltd specialises in providing hot meals to 23 primary schools across Bournemouth and Poole. Established in 1992 as a home delivery food service, the business has been operating in its current form for over 15 years, building a solid reputation as a trusted provider. The company delivers approximately 3,100 meals daily, with all dishes crafted in-house, and has become known for its high-quality service within the local community.

Following the retirement of the owner, Corporate Sales Negotiator Jonathan McElhinney identified a suitable acquirer in Canonbury Group. Kings Corporate worked alongside its affiliate, Altius Corporate Finance, to guide the deal through our distinctive Corporate Sales Process. Both the selling party and Canonbury Group were pleased to complete the transaction ahead of the Autumn term, ensuring a smooth transition for the new owners.

Jonathan commented on the sale:

“Our clients were a pleasure to work with, maintaining good communication throughout the process and ensuring a smooth transaction. I wish Canonbury Group all the best with their acquisition and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
