First Choice Group is the UK’s largest supplier of OEM catering spare parts, accessories, and consumables from many of the industry’s leading manufacturers.
Built on more than 20 years of experience, First Choice Group provides expert advice, stockholding, logistical solutions and parts identification for the commercial catering, refrigeration, laundry, and beverage equipment sectors, as well as technical training through the company’s award-winning First Choice Training division. Committed to driving the catering equipment industry forward as a whole, First Choice Group is a member of and long-term supporter of several industry associations.
Formed in 1999, First Choice Catering Spares quickly gained a reputation for excellence. In 2014 the company purchased the technical training company, Combico UK, becoming First Choice Group – a move designed to bring both companies together to represent the diverse and growing offering. Three years later in 2017, First Choice Group moved to a new purpose-built 100,000sqft home at Kingswood Lakeside, Cannock. That same year, the company was acquired by Parts Town Unlimited, the parent company of Parts Town.
The acquisition has enabled First Choice Group to strengthen and grow its offering even further, sharing knowledge and resource on an international stage, whilst also allowing access to numerous American equipment brands. Understanding the importance of digital accessibility, First Choice Group launched a brand new, fully transactional website and app in 2020, enabling customers to place orders up to 7pm for same day dispatch and next day delivery. Crucial in today’s fast-paced world, First Choice Group can deliver from the UK’s largest stock of OEM spare parts for the foodservice industry, helping to reduce costly downtime in often business-critical equipment. Working with some of the market’s leading brands First Choice Group delivers high levels of in-stock availability and first-time-ship rates, making the company the fastest and easiest way to purchase OEM spare parts.
In addition to parts, accessories and consumables, First Choice Group also delivers award-winning training through its dedicated training division. Accredited to deliver specialist courses including ACS gas assessments, electrical competency courses and managed learning programmes, the company hosts engineers, technicians, associations and manufacturers in its state-of-the-art facilities in Cannock. From fully functioning development kitchens to flexible meeting and event spaces, First Choice Group has become the approved training partner for many of the most prominent manufacturers.
