UNIPCO Purchasing Program

Introducing Adam Campbell, Member Development Manager for Eastern & Northern Ontario Joining UNIPCO just a year ago, Adam brings more than 28 years of experience in the food industry, starting at 16 in an English pub and working his way up to operations consultant. Looking for a change, he was completely intrigued when he heard about UNIPCO. He quickly fell in love with our mission to help fight for independent food service operators, giving them more power to control their profits and success. Since onboarding, he's enjoyed every day: learning about the programs, discovering how unique each restaurant owner's business is, and, his favourite, delivering cheques that are larger than owners expect! Until he retires to run his own savoury smoked meat shack, he'll be out in the front of the house helping Ontario owners with their unique challenges in bringing incredible local food to our communities.

Meet Francois Vermette, the UNIPCO Member Development Manager for Quebec. Francois joined in 2017 after working as a sales representative in the food industry for 24 years. His transition to UNIPCO was seamless due to his extensive experience in the field. Francois expressed his enthusiasm for the role, stating, "I realized that I find more fulfillment in helping restaurant owners rather than simply selling a product. In this role, I can help them increase their profits and foster relationships among suppliers, distributors, and independent food service operators. It's truly satisfying to make connections and solve problems for our members." Since joining UNIPCO, Francois has appreciated gaining a new perspective on the industry and developing a deeper understanding of the restaurant world, not to mention enjoying the delicious food and great friendships along the way!
