About Foodsales

For 27 Years, Foodsales has been a leader in sales solutions into the grocery market for both food and non-food brands and products.
Foodsales are Sales specialists for Food and Household businesses focusing on the Discount market, Wholesale, Cash & Carry, and the Independent trade.  We have been successfully working with clients in these sectors for over twenty seven years.

We are a Sales led organisation with a sales team of 11 people calling on all non national multiple outlets.
The convenience sector still represents a major income stream which cannot be ignored and Foodsales was formed in 1984 to address this gap in manufacturers sales efforts.
We have close relationships with the Discount trade.  IGD research forecasts the discount and value channel will be worth £8.0bn by 2014. This represents growth of 39% on 2009, and makes it the second fastest growing channel behind online.  This is currently over 5% of the UK grocery sales value.  

We maintain a select portfolio of Brand Principals so that we can focus on their needs and specific requirements.  Foodsales represent such businesses as:

Princes
Jeyes
Whitworths
Baco Wrap film
Town & Country Pet Foods
Sanmex International
