We're good people to work with
Really, we are. We won’t mess you around, we’re upfront and honest, credit safe and our processes are completely transparent. All of which sounds a bit serious for a bunch of people who enjoy what they do.
We never, ever give up
We always go the extra mile to find the right home for your stock – and by “right”, we mean the one most appropriate for your brand, rather than just the first on the taxi rank.
You can rely on us
We’ve over 1,500 suppliers – many of whom have been with us since we first started trading some twenty years ago – and they trust us to get the job done. It really is as simple as that.
Simon Britten founded Shropshire Trading over twenty years ago:
Our Ethos: Food must never go to waste
I’m pleased to see that the food industry has caught up: sustainability is a fashionable term nowadays, but for us, it’s always been part of who we are as a company.”
“I’d worked within the food industry for a number of years, but I was finding myself increasingly angry at the way so much good food went to waste. That’s why I set up Shropshire Trading: I knew that there was a market for short-dated, residual and so-called problem stock, but at the time very few companies were doing it properly.’
