“We started a supplier – client relation, in the beginning smaller quantities and not so regular. After some time, we met Mr. Jehangir Lawyer, the managing director and after he came to our plant, we confirmed our relation and the volume from then has been rising year by year. In the end, the best way to express my feeling about Fortune Gourmet: it is to say to the common relation “thanks for introducing me”

Since 2011, Fayrefield Foods Ltd. has been the exclusive supplier of cheddar and hard UK cheeses to Fortune Gourmet. During this period, we have seen impressive year-on-year sales growth and succeeded in rapidly expanding our product portfolio. Being a pan-Indian company with an extensive sales team, we as the supplier are confident that Fortune can push commercial possibilities whilst the cold chain logistics channels and specialist staff ensure that quality standards are never compromised. Fortune Gourmet places great importance on that demoded, but important concept of personal relationships yet respond to the modern and changing demands of the Indian market. Fortune Gourmet is the natural partner in India.

As a retailer showcasing widest range of specialized gourmet products, I have always found Fortune to be a great partner, with not just their offerings but also their excellent service. One thing that stands out about them for me is that they have always been careful to ensure every product lives up to the highest standards.

“Fortune Gourmet and The Leela, Goa, go back a long way to the mid-1990s. We were fortunate, as back then there weren't any reliable suppliers for imported cheese and salamis. The best quality of hams, cold cuts and frozen meats, seafood, among other products were from Fortune. It was their consistent year round supply, fulfilling last minute requests that helped us give our discerning guests a wide variety of high-end products. Over the years Jehangir Lawyer became a respected acquaintance and friend. In the last decade many new entrants sprang up but Fortune remains The Leela's consistent partner.”

At the first meetings everybody says something polite, so when Fortune told me that work with them would not have been only business, that I was getting part of a family, with long term relationship, I didn’t care too much. After 10 years of profitable collaboration I can clearly say that never a promise was so sincere. Fortune is not a client, but a partner. With them you can join a team and find a family. Collaboration, synergy and friendship: can you ask for anything more from a customer?

“We are into Gourmet Cheese manufacturing since 2008 our starting days in cheese making and sales were very low as Gourmet cheese consumption was limited to metro cities. Mr Lawyer tasted our cheese and he saw an opportunity as well as potential in our company. Soon we started supplying cheese to Fortune Gourmet and our sales and fortunes grew, thanks to a great and stable partnership over the years. In my opinion Mr Jehangir Lawyer has in depth knowledge in Gourmet Cheese, has often guided us in making products with authentic taste and texture due to which we have grown alongside with them over the years. The company has also made in time Payments and we never faced any difficulties.”

“I have other suppliers but most products are from Jehangir. He’s always ready to give me a good deal. He knows the market and understands what he is selling on a deep level; he is a trend-setter. Jehangir has played a major role in educating people about gourmet food products. Before he started not much stuff was available ”
