Our success is down to hard work and the family values that lie at the core of our business…

At Forrest Fresh Foods, we’re all about doing the right thing. We’re incredibly proud of the business we have built over the years and, more importantly, our reputation. So much so, we’re now one of the largest, most reliable wholesale suppliers to the cash and carries and convenience stores throughout the land – UK and global - and there’s no stopping us now!

As the proverb says, ‘great oaks from little acorns grow’ – we’re now a proud, family-run business turning over in excess of £50m a year, all built through our Lancashire grit, determination and commitment to our customers – the local shops who buy soft drinks in bulk, the cash and carry who need wholesale online, the many convenience stores, discount stores, independent retailers and the larger international retailers too.

If you’re a shop or discount retailer looking to buy wholesale soft drinks, we can help. Wholesale confectionery, yes, no problem. Anything from bulk buying snacks to household goods, toiletries, groceries, pet care and alcohol, you name it, we can supply it, bulk buy wholesale online or otherwise.

Our success is definitely down to our people. Without whom, we wouldn’t be successful. Our whole ethos is hard work, honesty, reliability and transparency. Yes, our business has family at the helm, but without our colleagues, we wouldn’t be able fulfil our promises to our customers who, over the years, have come to rely on us as their business partner.

From the small corner shop, aka independent retailer, to the larger wholesales and nationally contracted companies who export internationally, Forrest Fresh Foods are proud to be the business partners of such establishments. We have depots in the North in Bedlington in Northumberland, Rochdale, Greater Manchester, then moving South to Romford and London. Perfectly placed wherever you might be in the UK and capable of housing over 5000 of the world’s leading brands in 60,000 square feet of space.

We, too, like a good deal, so having these fantastic facilities means we can stock up in bulk ourselves and pass on the savings to you.

Our history

With a history reaching back over a quarter of a century, Forrest Fresh Foods Limited in Rochdale, Lancashire, has been proudly run with the same zest, inspiration and integrity as it was from day one when John and Nichola Forrest first brought it to life back in the 90s.

Still family-run to this day, albeit having moved on from its original focus as a fruit and veg supplier then potatoes to the local chippies, Forrest Fresh Foods Ltd can now proudly claim the mantle of being one of the largest independent wholesalers in the country of confectionery and soft drinks. No mean feat.

But, we wouldn’t be a successful business without our people, and our success is down to our winning combination of our people and, of course, our customers.
