Brake Bros plc
 PROFILE
If you drive up to Brake Bros hoping to get a brake job, you might end up with egg on your face -- literally. Its name notwithstanding, Brake Bros is one of the UK's leading suppliers of food to the catering industry. Brake Bros' Foodservice division includes the Brake Bros frozen food business, Country Choice (frozen bakery products), Larderfresh (chilled and fine foods), and Twin Chef Foods (food manufacturing). The company's Watson & Philip Foodservice unit focuses on chilled grocery products, and its Puritan Maid unit supplies frozen, chilled, and nonrefrigerated foods. Brake Bros serves customers across the UK and France. Members of the founding Brake family own about 43% of the company.
