The Partyman Group is a group of leisure led businesses, operating indoor soft play centres, day nurseries, laser combat arenas and outdoor attractions, including an adventure farm and a water park. All venues have on-site commercial kitchens serving children and customers hot and cold drinks, food and snacks.

"When running a multi-site chain of leisure and childcare venues, sometimes food and beverages is the last priority. As a company, our focus is growth and generating bigger turnover and we did not have the time in focusing on existing income.

When we approached Regency Purchasing Group, we were honest with what we wanted from them - keen pricing on food and beverages stock, and better supplier relationships. The team at Regency made this happen. Our Procurement Manager took our comments onboard and it was like having a full-time food and beverages regional manager.

When we go to the marketplace for new suppliers, we always look for those who can go the extra mile and Regency have managed this on our behalf on numerous occasions. They are a company who really assist you with getting the best for your business. With Regency, we have a partnership that is built on trust and a desire for a good product and a good service."

Update since Covid-19:

"Since Coronavirus has taken hold, business has changed dramatically for us.

Having to shut, open, then shut sites again, it has become a rollercoaster of emotions for all involved. 

Regency have supported us throughout this and continue to do so. From helping with adapting new menus, keeping us up to date with availability of product, to introducing new suppliers. This time has proved crucial with communicating with our supply chain daily, which Regency have continued to assist. They have always responded in an efficient and timely manner to help resolve and advise on any queries that have arisen.

The Regency newsletters has provided us with much needed information my team and I are grateful for all their support and help – which in these times, is greatly appreciated and remembered.

We have missed the face to face meetings but looking forward to resuming these, once all is safe."
