We’re a family business. The management team have been with us for 10+ years.
Our 67-strong multinational team speaks 15 languages and has decades of experience in picking, packing and delivering your produce.
Most of my life has been around produce. When I was 10 years old, every Saturday my mum would drop me off in Fulham to work on my grandad and uncle’s fruit stall. When I was 12, I would cycle from Kingston to Fulham to help set up the stall and then wait for the lorry, full to the brim with fruit purchased from New Covent Garden Market that morning.
I met Peter May when I was 20. He was one of my dad’s friends, and he taught me about the industry and the complexities of buying. We quickly became friends for life. In 2005, we started County Supplies London together. He sadly passed in 2018 but his presence is everywhere and in everything that we do, and he will never be forgotten.
Today, we supply London’s top restaurants and prestigious kitchens with an ever-growing list of produce. We’ve grown from 15 people to nearly 70, and now operate a shiny fleet of 21 FORS accredited vans. And that’s not all — next year we’ll be moving into a 10,000 sq ft, fully temperature-controlled warehouse as part of New Covent Garden Market's sustainable regeneration project. With sustainability at its core, the move will not only expand our capacity but also further embed our sustainable practices across the business.
We’ve embedded sustainability, education and community into everything we do. Our commitment to responsible sourcing, client advocacy and ethical practices makes us a stand-out supplier. But what truly sets us apart is our service ethos. From timed deliveries and bespoke prep to specialist sourcing, every aspect of our business is built around customer needs – without compromising on ethics or quality.
As part of our integrated ESG strategy, we have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to validate our greenhouse gas emissions and assess our decarbonisation targets across Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions. From reducing fuel and electricity consumption to investing in energy-efficient operations, low-emission delivery solutions and green workplace initiatives.
Through our supplier compliance programme, we prioritise quality alongside sustainable procurement measures that address environmental issues, labour practices and human rights – ensuring we responsibly source the best seasonal produce from a trusted network of leading growers.
We have a AA grading for storage and distribution.
