The Provedores opened in October 2016. The owners, Ron Walker, Paul and Sarah Sanders have between them, over 80 years’ experience in all aspects of the food and hospitality industry. We are passionate local wholesalers that appreciate good old-fashioned relationships and Exceptional services. The Provedores are a member of Countrywide, the largest, national group of independent wholesale foodservice distributors in Australia. Keeping things local and Australian owned and operated with the acquisition of Coastal Fine Foods in May 2017, the Provedores range of all your commodity food products is now complemented by a comprehensive range of specialty food products and beverages. The team from Coastal Fine Foods are now an integral part of our organisation enabling us to offer and support a unique range of products to assist our customers, the creators of all the wonderful food that is offered to diners on the North Coast. April 2019 saw the acquisition of the wholesale side of Bibina in Newcastle. This acquisition was a fantastic fit to the business as we were already servicing the area with our specialty lines.
