The British Hamper Company aims to expand retail presence

Following a strong period of wholesale growth across the UK, The British Hamper Company has announced ambitious plans to partner with over 170 retailers by the end of 2025.

The milestone reflects the increasing demand for the company's artisan food and drink range and a growing appetite for premium, British-made gifting products.

Since launching its own-brand retail range in Autumn 2024, the Lincolnshire-based business has seen more than 28,000 gift tins reach homes across the country. This consumer enthusiasm has translated into rising interest from stockists, with the wholesale division rapidly expanding its presence in key retail sectors.

The brand's award-winning range is already proving popular at leading garden centres.
