About Northern Marketing
Family-run FMCG wholesale distributor in Nelson, Lancashire — supplying UK retailers since 2009.
A family business, backing independents since 2009
Northern Marketing has been family run since the day we opened in 2009. We started with one thing — household essentials and personal care — and we have stayed with it, because knowing a category properly is worth more to a buyer than carrying everything badly.
Today we work out of a 40,000 sq ft warehouse at Scholefield Mill in Nelson, with our own fleet on the road rather than a third-party courier between our floor and your door. Around 600 lines sit ready to pick, from the branded names your customers already reach for to the ten own brands we develop ourselves.
We open accounts at £250 + VAT, which is below the point where most wholesalers will take the call. That is deliberate. We would rather back a shop at pallet one and grow with it.
What we do
Branded FMCG
The household, toiletry and health & beauty names your customers already reach for, held in stock and priced by the case rather than the pallet.
See the brands
Ten own brands
Perfect Scents, Max Flush, Lu Mist, EightTripleEight and six more. Developed, manufactured and packed by us, so the margin stays with you.
Shop own brands
Done in-house
Repackaging, custom labelling, private label runs and export-ready packing, all handled on our own floor rather than sent out.
