About wholesale companies
Wholesale companies sit between producers and resellers, holding stock and distributing it to retail, hospitality, trade and business customers. Their operations blend warehousing, order handling and transport with commercial sales and customer service.
Because they serve many customers and product ranges, the workforce spans physical warehouse roles and office-based sales and administration. Demand follows their customers’ buying cycles, with peaks around seasonal goods and trade events.

- Warehouse operatives picking, packing and handling stock.
- Forklift and equipment operators with valid certification.
