Since our inception in 2000 our sole aim has been to offer retailers a multi-dimensional distribution approach that doesn’t rely on a set formula. Instead we prefer to respect the needs of each supplier and use our intimate market knowledge to ensure the individual success of each brand we represent. Having pioneered most of the brands we work with within Europe, we truly understand the personal approach required to enable each to grow and prosper at the elevated level. Show less
