We are a rapidly growing family-owned, family-led business that exists to make our customers’ lives easier.
Based in York and Keighley, we supply your favourite restaurants, your local schools, your office cleaners, as well as thousands of other workplaces and venues across the North. In fact, you are usually never further than 100 yards away from one of our customers.
We sell things that everyone needs, including 100s of millions of recycled hand towels a year, several Olympic swimming pools worth of soap and enough coffee cups to keep the entire population of Leeds caffeinated.
Family is at the heart of our business, which means we are uncompromising in not encroaching on your family time. We keep the same hours as Dolly Parton.
