About Us

The UK's household goods and toiletries wholesale specialist since 2009.

Northern Marketing Services is a Lancashire based wholesaler supplying discount retailers, convenience stores, online sellers and exporters across the UK. We've been doing one thing since 2009, household essentials and personal care, sold by the pallet and we've built the operation around that buyer.

From a 40,000 sq ft warehouse in Nelson we run our own UK-wide delivery fleet, distribute ranges exclusive to Northern Marketing, and offer repackaging and custom labelling in-house. That means lower handling costs, better delivery control, and the ability to ship private-label or export-ready stock straight from our floor to yours.

We're not a wholesale supermarket. We're category specialists with one specialism done deep, and that's how our customers prefer it.

Built To Grow With You

We were once the small order on someone else's pricelist.

Northern Marketing started small. The 40,000 sq ft warehouse, the fleet, the customer book, none of it was here on day one. Every milestone since, the first full truckload, the first own-brand run, the first dedicated delivery van, came because someone backed us when our orders were modest and our cashflow was tighter than we'd have liked. We remember exactly what that backing was worth.

Most wholesalers in this trade won't open an account for less than £5,000 an order. We open ours at £250. That's not a marketing line, it's a deliberate choice. The buyers we want to work with rarely arrive ready-made, they arrive growing, and the wholesaler they need on their side is the one who'll back them at pallet one and keep backing them at pallet five hundred. Whether you're buying one case or ten pallets, you get the same attention from the same trade desk.

There's a practical side to that £250 MOV too. We hold over 500 SKUs in stock, and the smartest way to find your next best-seller isn't to commit to a full pallet on day one, it's to take a case or two, see how it sells, and scale up what works. £250 gives you the room to do that, line by line, until you've built a stock list that earns you money instead of one that just fills the shelves.

A lot of our biggest accounts today started with a small trial order and a phone call to the trade desk. That's not an accident, that's how we're built, and it's how we want to keep building.

Frequently asked questions

How do I open an account?

To open an account, please head over to our 'Open An Account' page. We recommend entering correct business and peronal details, as your application will undergo thorough checks.

Can you email me offers and promotions?

Yes. By signing up you agree to receive marketing emails. If you do not want access to our latest stock offers and promotions, please email enquiries@nmarketing.co.uk to opt out.

What is the MOQ?

Our MOQ for UK customers is £250 ex. VAT + a standard rate of £75 per pallet for delivery. For free delivery, the MOQ is £750 ex. VAT.

How do the deliveries work

Our standard delivery is next day between 9AM-4PM. Customers will be contacted in advance to confirm a delivery date. If delivery is attempted but not achieved for any reason, a re-delivery charge will apply. Timed deliveries are available, where customers can choose a one hour time slot but this will concur an additional cost of £30 ex. VAT. Tail lifts are also available at an additional cost of £5 ex VAT.

How does the payment system work?

All new accounts are created on a pro-forma basis and must be paid up-front. Once an order is placed, our accounts team will email you a proforma. Once the bank transfer has been made, the order will be processed. Please note, we require payment to be made within 5 days from when the order is placed. If payment is not made in this time scale, your order will be cancelled.

When will I get my order?

Lead time is 1-5 working days. This depends on the order itself mainly. Full pallet and/or layer orders are much quicker to process than smaller orders, so please bare this in mind if you're on a time crunch.

Who can I contact if I need any assistance?

Please direct your queries to enquiries@nmarketing.co.uk. We are always happy to help, and we aim to respond within 24 hours.
