Gamble FS Reclaims Exclusive UK Sales Rights for Imperial

Foodservice equipment supplier that represented brand for 30 years in the UK until it was acquired by Middleby signs new agency agreement.

Gamble Foodservice Solutions has officially regained its role as the exclusive UK sales agent for Imperial, a leading manufacturer of commercial cooking equipment.

This announcement follows a recent agreement between Middleby UK and Gamble FS, re-establishing their long-standing partnership to reintroduce Imperial products to the UK market.

Since Middleby’s acquisition of Imperial in 2021, the brand was supplied via Middleby UK. However, the recent collaboration between the two companies sees Gamble FS taking over the exclusive sales rights, bringing their deep expertise and over 30 years of experience with Imperial back to the forefront.

Chris Clark, Managing Director of Middleby UK, commented on the partnership, saying, “At Middleby UK, we are constantly evaluating our offerings to ensure our customers have access to the best equipment in the industry. It’s vital that our brands are positioned to provide the best experience, and Gamble FS, with their extensive knowledge of Imperial, is perfectly placed to grow its market share.”

Nathan Jones, Managing Director of Gamble FS, shared his enthusiasm for the renewed relationship: “Re-aligning with Imperial after our discussions with Middleby UK was an exciting opportunity. Gamble FS has a long history with Imperial, and we are committed to continuing the high standards of service and support that the brand is known for worldwide.”

Founded in 1957 in California, Imperial is renowned for manufacturing high-performance ranges, fryers, ovens, and other specialty cooking equipment.

With a global annual revenue of approximately $40 million (£30 million), the brand remains a key player in commercial kitchens across the world.

This partnership marks a significant step forward for both companies, as they work together to ensure Imperial’s continued success in the UK market.
