Mission & Purpose

Who are we? We’re designers. We're mathematicians. We're salespeople. We’re forward-thinkers and we’re passionate about what we do. Established in 1997, we provide a total end-to-end solution to over 300 world-class retailers by sourcing, developing and ultimately distributing a wide range of branded household products. Chances are, we’ll have had some involvement in something in your room right now, whether you’ve swept your floor with a Beldray mop, drank your brew from a Portobello mug or prepared a tasty stir-fry in a Salter wok; we’re devoted to providing the products that make your house an ultimate home. Where are we? You’ll find our lovingly branded household products in a number of high-street retailers, including B&M, Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Argos and TK Maxx, to name but a few. We are a truly global company, with major sourcing and general merchandising functions based in the Far East; our design and development offices are located in the UK, Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Across 20 years’ experience in trading and building relationships, we’ve worked tirelessly to establish a reliable supply partner base across 12 different consumer product categories. What do we do? Our committed Buying teams work closely with our valued supply partners to source, develop and determine the winning lines that will be sold to major global retailers throughout the year. Our skilled, in-house Design team produces a wealth of high-quality packaging, surface pattern designs, marking material and style guides to assure that our brands are a recognisable household staple. Within Merchandising and Quality Assurance, our teams work diligently to deliver the best possible quality of product within an efficient timeline that meets any and all customer-specific requirements.
