About
A British trading company, run by people you can get hold of
UAP Trading Limited was formed in 2017. We buy and move fast moving consumer goods out of the United Kingdom, for wholesalers, retailers and exporters.
We started in 2017 buying British branded stock and finding it a home, and that is still what we do. Groceries, confectionery, beverages, household, baby care and coffee, sold by the case and by the pallet.
Some of what we sell goes to wholesalers and independent retailers here in the UK. A good deal of it leaves the country. We also trade on e-commerce platforms, which means we see what actually sells rather than only what is offered.
We are registered in England and Wales and we are VAT registered, so we can handle export paperwork properly, including long term supplier declarations where a buyer needs proof of origin.
We are deliberately small. You will deal with the same people each time, and if you ask about a date code or a case configuration you will get an answer rather than a ticket number.
How we work
Four things we get asked about
The questions that come up on almost every first enquiry, answered before you have to ask them.
Minimum order
We would rather talk about it than publish a number that is wrong for your market. Send a list and a destination and we will tell you straight away whether it works.
Mixed loads
Most of our customers take a mix across categories. Building a pallet from several lines is normal here, not an exception we grudgingly allow.
Dates and batches
Checked before anything is dispatched, and we will tell you the dates before you commit rather than after the load arrives.
Paperwork
Commercial invoice, packing list and declarations of origin where they are needed. We have been doing export documentation since we started.
6 categories, and a team that answers the same day
