Turnover was reported at £13.62m.
The Cheshire-based company attributed the uplift in profit to a combination of developing existing client relationships and significant new business wins.
The Fresh Group has also forecast sales worth £17m for 2013/14 and has already confirmed more than half of business for the next 12 months.
Antony Wilson, financial director of The Fresh Group, said: "These figures are particularly pleasing as the upward trend continues. Fresh has achieved consistent and controlled growth over the last four years and has clear visibility of the same trend continuing for the foreseeable future."
Patrick Howells, Fresh’s managing director, added: "It’s been another fantastic year of achievement for Fresh. We couldn’t have asked for a more positive start to our tenth year of trading."
