A look at Entegra’s future with Richard Mingorance, SVP Global Marketing

How can Entegra benefit your business as we move into 2023?

We recently asked Richard Mingorance, our Senior Vice President of Global Marketing, to share some insights into how a partnership with Entegra will help you achieve your business goals. And now that we’re also a year into our new brand expression, which brings with it the 12-point Entegra difference, this seems like the perfect opportunity to discuss how our services and solutions can benefit your business as we move into 2023. 

Q: How does Entegra differentiate itself from competitors? 

A: Entegra is far more than a GPO. We are a business performance partner that is committed to our clients’ success. We are the largest food GPO and the only player with a truly international presence. Our wide breadth of DSD, FF&E and local contracts are unparalleled in the market. You’ll earn rebates with real transparency and save up to 30%. We take a custom contracting approach and offer a range of services and solutions that enable clients to optimize savings and boost their performance. As part of Sodexo, we also leverage our parent company’s leading expertise in the realm of corporate social responsibility. We are equipped to help our clients achieve and surpass their DE&I or sustainability goals.  

Let me also highlight our exceptional food expertise. One example of this is the EPK, the Entegra Performance Kitchen. The EPK is a gorgeous show kitchen, staffed by our skilled culinarians, that elevates our clients’ culinary ambitions to new heights. The EPK offers concept development, media production, full menu and recipe development, menu optimization and refinement, among other valuable services. Additionally, our people make all the difference at Entegra. Our employees possess unmatched industry expertise and are absolutely committed to assisting our clients in becoming beacons of hospitality. 

Q: How can Entegra help our clients grow in the next fiscal year? 

A: Despite myriad challenges, such as COVID-19, inflation and supply chain constraints, Entegra has been able to grow at an accelerated pace during these past few years, which means we’re growing with you.    

I expect us to continue enhancing our client-centricity as we broaden our range of services and expand our catalog, which means we understand your changing needs. We’re increasingly a “one-stop shop” for our clients. While food has been our mainstay, our portfolio has greatly expanded and will continue to broaden in 2023 and beyond.    

Our digital world has redefined marketing to its core. Now data is king. At Entegra, we continually strive to enhance our marketing capabilities, thus building a powerful combination of savings and services, further allowing our clients to grow and prosper. Data is changing how we provide better transparency to improve the performance of our clients’ businesses.
