Plan the whole route.
Supplier selection through to transport is decided against temperature range, shelf life and storage conditions. Optimising one leg in isolation does not hold for food.
Food is a category where quality, shelf life and regulatory compliance
decide whether a deal is possible at all.
We plan the route end to end, not one leg of it.
- Sourcing
- Domestic, import and exportWe do not limit ourselves to one origin
- Compliance
- Labelling, origin and procedures checked firstWe do not proceed on unverified terms
- Design
- Built around temperature and shelf lifeStorage and transport are worked backwards from there
Our approach
What we hold to in this business
If it cannot be verified, we do not proceed.
Labelling, country of origin, import and export procedures. We establish what is required before committing, not after.
Spread the sourcing.
Supply built on a single origin or a single counterparty stops the moment weather or regulation moves. We assume an alternative route is needed.

Questions
Frequently asked
We want to import but do not know the procedure.＋
We start by mapping what is required and where the time goes, then give you a schedule that can actually be met.
Can we see a sample first?＋
It depends on the product. Tell us what you are looking at and we will confirm whether samples can be arranged.
We have requirements on remaining shelf life.＋
Tell us the remaining shelf life you need on arrival and we will build the sourcing route around that condition.
We only want to benchmark our current price.＋
That is fine. Benchmarking enquiries are welcome, and we will tell you plainly what we can and cannot match.
