FUTURE

During DFS's growth, it has become fully computerised. All the delivery vans are modern, under 4 years old and are refrigerated. All staff are easily identified in their distinctive uniforms and are trained to be polite and helpful. DFS now buys 90% of its products directly to obtain the best quality and price.

Due to the above benefits and our extensive experience we believe our growth will come from customers in our area who demand quality and service at a competitive price.
