White Brothers

WHITE BROTHERS is a unique product sourcing company that has been selling exclusively to the UK charity sector since 2008, with customers ranging from large national charities to small regionally based organisations. We have developed a unique commercial and supply chain model designed to source surplus product from factories, importers, distributors and retailers to supply to the UK charity retail sector. This has provided suppliers with an opportunity to commercially exit surplus product from their business in a sustainable manner and at the same time provides UK charity retailers a source of new products, providing a valuable new income stream. We are currently the only company that tailors its product range solely to the requirements of UK charities and we have earned a reputation as the supplier of choice for new products in the sector. Today White Brothers supplies over 40% of charity shops across the country with new products ranging from socks and underwear to designer handbags & branded toys. In addition to sourcing new products we also solve a wide range of problems for our charity customers throughout the supply chain and tailor our services to complement our customer’s

infrastructure and budget. For example we have very low thresholds for minimum order quantities and we have a range of services such as out of season storage, auto replenishment of core lines and a barcoding service for all new goods we supply. This exible approach delivers signicant benets which other suppliers are unable to match and is a major factor in our success with our charity customers. Our reputation for sourcing an attractive range of products to complement charities shops core donations, coupled with a exible approach to distribution and a focus on outstanding customer service, has enabled the business to experience rapid growth in the sector. Winning The Queen’s Award for Enterprise specically recognises the company’s remarkable achievements and commercial success in creating a unique and sustainable commercial model.
