Our Sourcing
Our products are brought to you from all over the world and we have made it our business to become 'experts' at everything from the weather to local politics! This is how we ensure that all our products have been grown, harvested, cleaned, packed and transported in a manner that satisfies our ethics, as well as your high standards.
This approach would be impossible without the strong and long standing relationships we enjoy with growers, packers, agencies and business partners across 35 countries.
We source over 4,000 different items of raw materials and packaging from Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and South East Asia. Today, we are the UK's number one buyer of a wide range of products, including delicious vine fruits, Turkish Apricots and dried cranberries.
Moreover, the strength and size of our group buying power means that we can offer the best quality products at truly competitive prices.
Our trading policy
As a responsible supplier and employer, we are conscious of our position and role within society. We source every product, irrespective of country, under a strictly ethical trading policy. It is our pleasure to have worked closely with many of our suppliers to help them to develop the necessary practices and processes to become world-class independent suppliers in their own right.
Having overseas businesses within the Whitworths Group allows us to easily supply the products we source on a global scale, without compromising cost or quality.
Our suppliers
Our suppliers are as much our partners as our suppliers. Whether they are growing apricots in Turkey, or raisins in California, these organisations and individuals share our commitment to taste, freshness and the highest quality production standards.
