About Us


History and Position

To Date Spring Fine Foods Limited ("Spring") has developed from it's early roots as a two man van sales operation to become a product sourcing company with a national distribution network. We focus on food service, vending and independent retail sectors. Growth and innovation have always been goals for Spring. In the early days organic growth was achieved slowly. Over the last 9 years additional growth has been achieved through a strategy of acquisition and ensured the Company's rapid expansion.

A different approach to snack foods and soft drinks

Throughout this period Spring has always managed to retain its focus as a specialist sourcing and marketing company supplying snack foods and soft drinks to a wide customer base within its chosen sectors. A continuous development programme sees the addition of new snack foods and soft drinks to the product list every month. This ensures that the offering is always up to date. It also means that the product list encompasses the latest trends and quickly responds to consumer demand.

 
A friendly, efficient customer service and distribution team

The national distribution network gives a regular and reliable "route to market" to all corners of the UK for the products stocked and marketed. Customer service and sales representatives make sure that every new product addition is communicated and orders are rapidly processed. Flexibility and reliability are a number one priority. The product range includes a high proportion of alternative snack foods and drinks with ORGANIC, FAIRTRADE, LOW FAT an HEALTHIER OPTIONS well represented. The ethos of Spring Fine Foods is to keep this trend towards alternative products and build on it, rather than actively promoting more well-known brands and products.

Always looking for the next big thing

Whether it's a new product from the UK or abroad, Spring are always on the look out to distribute and help market unknown products that want to break into the UK market place. The distribution network that we have and the varied customer base ensures that any new product that is chosen will get a wide target market quickly and efficiently. We are also looking to purchase suitable companies that will help the business to expand.
