Our open and approachable work culture means that we come together for a common goal – making British grocery brands available around the world.
What we do
“The world’s a big place and it’s getting smaller every day. That’s why we understand our customers’ individual markets and offer advice for many different businesses around the world, making us one of the biggest wholesale exporters of British grocery products in the UK.”

Our business is dedicated to export and our customers range from small retailers to large distributors.
We help our customers grow with our diverse product range and our ‘customer first’ strategy, which has turned us from simply being an export wholesaler into an unmatched, value-added service provider.
