First Choice to supply ISA spares

UK: Cannock-based commercial catering equipment parts supplier First Choice Group is now working with Italian manufacturer ISA.

First Choice Group will now be able to supply customers with parts from the Italian-based manufacturer, best known for its ice-cream cabinets.

Julian Fisher, First Choice Group’s business development manager said that the master distribution agreement will boost the choice, quality and value that’s available to customers.

“This agreement is yet another example of how First Choice Group works closely with its partners to provide top OEM stock levels and technical parts advice for customers,” he said.

ISA’s global account director Stephen Baldock confirmed that First Choice was now stocking a significant number of parts in the UK for next day delivery. “We look forward to the added strength that this will give us as we continually strive to improve our level of service to our loyal client base,” he said.
