 Cimandis Guernsey and Cimandis Foodservice will cease its operations at the end of August 2025

What is happening?

Following an extensive period of operational review, including increased shipping and rent costs and the unique logistical challenges of operating in an island market, we've taken the tough decision to close Cimandis Foodservice.

I would like to stress that this decision has not been taken lightly, and everything that could be done to avoid this scenario was explored. However, despite our best efforts, the economic environment has rendered ongoing operations in Guernsey unsustainable. 

This will mean that all product lines available from Cimandis Foodservice will no longer be available for purchase, and our operations in Guernsey and our service to Alderney, Herm and Sark will stop at the end of August.

How will these changes affect you?

Our top priority will remain to serve our Guernsey and Alderney based customers over the coming weeks, and please rest assured, we will take every necessary measure to ensure a smooth transaction for you and all of our customers. As well as this, we will be running stock clearance sales to help support local food operators with the essential products needed to maintain menu continuity during the busy summer season. 

This will be a gradual change, and as a result, we will be working closely with our recruitment agencies and other local employers to assist our affected team members in finding new roles. 

We will be sure to keep you informed of timelines in the coming weeks, but if you have any further queries regarding this change, including concerns about product availability, please do not hesitate to contact your Account Manager in the first instance. 

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your understanding and loyalty, as well as your valued business and support.

Kindest regards,

Nigel Holliday

Managing Director, Cimandis
