Tossed, the healthy eating group, has acquired Vital Ingredient for an undisclosed sum.

The Vincent McKevitt led group has bought the 13-strong Vital Ingredient from investment firm FCFM, who had acquired it out of administration at the start of the year.

The combined group will operate from 38 locations across London, the Welcome Break service stations and Dubai.

McKevitt, said: “We are very excited to create one of the largest healthy eating groups in the UK.

“We look forward to growing the business and taking healthy eating to even more people.

“Our companies have different strengths and we are looking forward to taking the best from both.

“Vital has a great team and superb locations, whilst Tossed is strong in hot food and technology.

“We will look to review our systems and cherry pick the best from both brands.”
