CARST & WALKER (UK) LTD – F R BENSON & PARTNERS LTD


We are very pleased to announce that effective from the 1st June 2024, the business of F R Benson & Partners joined Carst & Walker.

Richard Benson and Jo Englefield, who will both be joining Carst & Walker, will bring new capabilities and experiences to the team and ensure continuity and a smooth transition of the FR Benson business.

We are all very excited by this new arrangement as it brings additional depth to the ingredient range that Carst & Walker will be able to offer in the future within the United Kingdom and Ireland.

FR Benson joins with Carst & Walker

Bensons have been involved with food ingredients for nearly 60 years and are well known for their focus on savoury ingredients and involvement with dehydrates, particularly vegetables and mushrooms, egg powders, fish powders, dairy powders, and truffles. Both conventional and organic are available.

A complete list is available on the FR Benson website at www.frbenson.co.uk

Carst & Walker, www.carst.com established in 1934, is part of the Hobart Enterprises group of companies, a multinational group with offices and warehouses in selected parts of the world. They specialise in raw materials and ingredients for the food and associated industries in both the UK and other markets.

We believe that the combined businesses will be able to offer a wider range of ingredients than before, with the added benefit that there will now be a UK based food safe warehouse able to hold stock and offer more flexible delivery options.

It will take some time to bed into the new organisation, so we ask customers to continue to talk to their usual contact when requesting samples or other information, as well as placing orders.

Your business contacts remain unchanged and are also supported by the team within Carst & Walker and Hobart:
