The expansion is Ebb & Flow Group’s attempt to establish a distribution line of their own that will function as a self-sustaining ecosystem. “The concern of a stable supply chain has always loomed over us,” Lim Kian Chun, co-founder and CEO of Ebb & Flow Group says. With other popular concepts under the group’s portfolio like The Dragon Chamber, Sommer, Willow, and Casa Vostra, Lim stressed that Modern Provision is meant to act as a “true catalyst for sustainable growth and community”. Lim adds that “with every producer relationship forged, there’s a trust to do their ingredients justice and a hope for continuation”.
“By channelling their produce into our supply streams and direct-to-consumers, we can keep costs low and maximise resources. This helps us deliver on the promise of offering quality goods at affordable prices, while championing artisans.”
