Supply chain solutions
We are experts in consolidating, managing and simplifying complex non-food and food packaging supply chains, delivering consistency, resilience and peace of mind.
As an independent, family-owned challenger brand established in 1983, we do things a little differently – putting customers firmly at the heart of everything we do.
We manage over 26,000 SKUs, supplying more than 1.6 million items annually, enabling customers to consolidate all non-food requirements through a single, trusted partner. Our services include:
- Centralised stock management and forecasting.
- Third-party consolidation.
- Bespoke and branded product management.
- Importing, exporting and supplier integration.
Customers can order via EDI, email, phone or online portal, with options for cost-centre control, authorisation levels and approved buying lists. Night deliveries across major UK cities minimise operational disruption, supported by photo proof of delivery. Our transport operation includes:
- A fleet of 28 vehicles and 150 delivery runs.
- Day and night deliveries into London and major UK cities.
- International delivery partnerships for global reach.
Weekly operational planning meetings, site surveys and dedicated opening teams ensure launches, roll-outs and new sites are delivered smoothly and on time. A named account manager provides direct access to a responsive, knowledgeable support team.
What our clients say
"As a business we are changing all the time and change is in fact a constant for us. We need supply partners that can adapt and change with us, and I know that Yate can do exactly that. We clearly still need to make sure that we are getting the most effective commercial solution, and having benchmarked Yate Supplies on an annual basis I know with certainty that we are still getting the best value, service and support."
Mike Jackson Director of Purchasing & Data, Roadchef
"The Boparan Restaurant Group are committed to reducing our impact on the environment which requires our supply partners to be aligned. As a key supplier, and one who delivers all packaging items to our restaurants, we know Yate Supplies are equally committed to our objectives and will achieve them."
Nick Smith Commercial Director, Boparan Restaurant Group
"Yate has proven time and time again their value to us, both in service and cost. Nothing is too much for the team – all innovative, hardworking problem solvers. We’re incredibly grateful for our fantastic partnership and for their key role in our success."
