Family, Food and Fun is the what RH Amar, one of the UK's leading fine food importers, is all about.

In 1945 Raoul Amar left his family's trading company and borrowed £2,000 to set up as a distributor of French food. The High Wycombe-based company remains in family ownership, with Raoul's grandson, Rob, heading the business as managing director, supported by a 70-strong team.

Today RH Amar represents a wide range of international and UK brands across all grocery channels, including major retail, online, independents, wholesale, cash & carry and manufacturing. They include household names such as Ella's Kitchen, Del Monte, Crespo, Mutti, Kikkoman and Cafédirect as well as its own Cooks&Co, Mary Berry's and the Original Waffle Co. brands.

The company ethos is underpinned by five core values integrity, passion, accountability, creativity and teamwork which inform every day behaviours and are linked to performance reviews and objectives.

Reflecting its approach to corporate social responsibility, the firm supports Farm Africa, a charity that works with farmers and forest communities in eastern Africa, providing training to help them grow more food, look after their livestock and make a living using their natural resources sustainably. In 2020 with the environment in mind, the company switched its plastic bubble wrap and packing tape to honeycomb wrap and paper-based packing tape.
