Case Study: Savona Foodservice’s partnership with Phillips Law is a recipe for success

26 February 2024

In today’s business landscape, companies often require multifaceted legal support to cope with challenges ranging from commercial contracts to employment disputes. This case study delves into the strategic collaboration between Savona Foodservice, a prominent player in the food wholesale industry, and Phillips Law.

Background:

Savona is an independent foodservice supplier with over 50 years of trading, providing a trusted, flexible solution for caterers. Savona partners with hundreds of local and global suppliers to service customers of all sizes across education, healthcare, workplace catering, hospitality, and leisure sectors.

Founded in Oxfordshire, and now with sites in London and the Southwest, the family-owned company has grown exponentially in size and profitability. To effectively address the challenges of rapid growth, Savona Foodservice works closely with Phillips Law.

Partnership Overview:

The collaboration between Savona Foodservice and Phillips Law encompasses strategic legal advice across multiple areas:

Outcomes and Impact:

To discuss the partnership, Phillips Law caught up with long term client, Mike Morgan of Savona Foodservice. Mike has been Managing Director of Savona for the past four years and comes from a background in the wholesale food industry.

On his experience working with Phillips Law, Mike said:

On a recent acquisition we wanted both value and availability and we got both. Phillips is always transparent, and we are always kept abreast with the cost.

Jack Gardener sees the bigger picture and I know we won’t get charged for every time he picks up the phone.

Jack speaks to us in plain English. Nothing is dumbed down and he gets it about right. 

On acquisitions there is a high level of trust between accountancy firm LMW, Phillips Law and Savona. I trust both businesses to get on with it without needing to be in the conversation.

Communication across the departments is good. We are kept up to date without having to chase. In one example Max Hope dropped everything, and that level of service goes a long way. 

We don’t go anywhere else for legal advice.

This case study of Savona Food Service’s partnership with Phillips Law underscores the importance of strategic collaboration between businesses and legal experts to achieve operational excellence, mitigate risks, and drive sustainable growth.

If you are a business owner, it is vital to have a trusted legal partner at your side to see you through the highs and lows of running a business.
