RESIDUAL STOCK WHOLESALE AND DISTRIBUTION

We pride ourselves on not being a traditional wholesaler. For us, there is never a ‘one size fits all’ solution.

Whether you are buying from us or selling to us, we work to make sure our proposals meet your requirements.

We guarantee to take the whole stock offer and distribute away from core markets to discount retailers with a reputation for fast moving, large volume requirements.

We work quickly. Our proposal will be with you the same working day.

We have storage space and a logistics operation that will move product in and out to your schedule.

SOLUTIONS FOR SUPPLIERS

We understand the importance of the values, integrity and status of the brands we work with and are as committed as the brand owners to safeguarding them.

However, we also know that from time to time, stocks of particular brands will need to be cleared efficiently, cost effectively and discreetly.

This could be ex-promotional stock, sales close outs or pack variants that no longer meet the needs of the brand owner or their retailers. It may be that impending legislation or just a simple stock surplus resulting from over production, requires action.

Whatever the reason, brand owners can trust us to:

  • Provide a tailored solution without compromising the brand
  • Deliver incremental sales
  • Never impact on field sales or national accounts
  • Act with complete trust and transparency

We save you time and money by taking a complete offer.  Our experience, reputation and extensive network of retailers means we have customers for it all. A bespoke solution every time.

FACILITIES

Based in the North East of England, our dedicated distribution hub is strategically located near key North–South routes, ensuring seamless logistics.

We put Health & Safety first, with fully compliant facilities — including a bespoke caged racking system for aerosol storage.

With capacity for over 30,000 pallets and a skilled team, we deliver efficient, sustainable solutions that align with our zero-waste ambition. By extending the lifecycle of surplus stock and minimising waste, we help protect both brands and the planet.

SYSTEMS

Our investment in bespoke commercial software managing our warehousing stock system allows processing of products in and out, quickly and efficiently with full reporting.

  • Manage stock efficiently and to agreed criteria
  • Generate tailored solutions for customers based on their specific requirements
  • Offer detailed proposals with confirmed goods and delivery timescales
  • Provide complete transparency of stock movement to all parties when needed

PROCESS

Our flexible processes enable us to accept stock of any load size, with minimal lead times. We take pride in the speed and efficiency with which we collect and redistribute stock, meeting even the most specific supplier and customer timeframes.

Over the years, we’ve built longstanding, loyal relationships with specialist contractors who help us move stock across the UK, Europe, and beyond. Only hauliers who meet our stringent quality standards are trusted to handle and transport our stock.

In line with our zero-waste ambition and sustainability goals, our shipping operations are designed to minimise environmental impact — leaving no carbon footprint wherever possible.

RE-PROCESSING

We have long-standing relationships with specialist contractors and extensive experience ensuring that all relabelling, repackaging, and reprocessing of stock is completed quickly, accurately, and in full compliance with our internal QA processes. All work is carried out in our dedicated clean room to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and quality.

We can advise on the specific requirements of individual territories, and stock can be relabelled as needed — always in compliance with the statutory regulations of the relevant market.

Original labels and new artwork can be returned if required, and consumers remain completely unaware of any changes made.

Our repackaging process adheres to all environmental regulations, using recyclable board and avoiding single-use plastics entirely. We are fully committed to reducing waste and minimising our environmental impact.

COMPLIANCE

As a responsible company we know that legislation, safety controls and labelling regulations are constantly under review in different markets, sectors and countries.

It is important to us that the brand owners trust us to continue to protect their brand and that our valued customers remain fully compliant throughout the sales process.

We ensure that no goods will ever be sold by us, until fully compliant with all the labelling regulations for their intended distribution market.

We work closely with experts in their field to provide us with advice on product descriptions, labelling laws, product liability and any other legal matter requiring clarification.
