The UK’s largest independent food and drink wholesaler
Established in 1976, Bestway Wholesale has grown to become the UK’s largest independent food and drink wholesaler. It is part of the industrial giant Bestway Group which also has global business interests in Banking, Cement, Pharmacy, Milling and Property Investment.
The wholesale division has 65 Bestway and Batleys depots spanning the length and breadth of the UK. It is a supply partner to over 70,000 independent retailers and 40,000 catering and foodservice operators. With a UK turnover of £2.5bn and a comprehensive logistical infrastructure, the company has the scale, purchasing power and expertise to help our customers compete in an ever-changing food and drink sector.
As a business, Bestway Wholesale business services three main customer groups; independent retail (including Club and Symbol), Foodservice and specialist Pet Operators.
Independent retail is serviced by our extensive depot network and delivered operation to stores.
In addition to supplying thousands of convenience stores and small shops, Bestway Wholesale also operates the award-winning Best-one symbol group which has 1,400 members throughout the country. Over 3,500 independents have chosen our depot-run promotional club, Xtra Local, as their retail club of choice.
These two groups continue to lead the company’s march in supporting customers with the right range, promotions and discipline to meet the exacting needs of the modern shopper.
The business has invested significantly in its award winning own-label offer: best-one and best-one Inspired for retail; Essentially Catering for foodservice; and Bestpets for pet care. There are now more than 1,300 lines in our own label portfolio offering everyday value to customers and shoppers.
We are committed to providing quality as well as value and, over the past year, both our retail and catering own label ranges have received awards for their quality credentials.
