About us

Our Story


CLF began in 1998 as a family business with a simple ambition: to supply retailers with the very best health and wellness products. What started in a family garage has grown into one of the UK's leading specialist wholesalers, supplying thousands of retailers nationwide from our purpose-built distribution centre in Southampton. Today we're proud to be employee-owned, committed to sustainability, and trusted by thousands of retailers, suppliers and brands across the UK.

What We Do

We provide dependable daily delivery services across the UK mainland, supplying over 18,000 products across categories including:

  • Vitamins, minerals and supplements
  • Organic and natural foods
  • Sports nutrition
  • Personal care
  • Household products
  • Chilled and frozen foods
Alongside distributing leading brands, we also develop a number of successful brands in-house.

Our combination of distribution expertise and brand ownership gives us a unique understanding of both retailer and supplier needs and over the years, we’ve helped many brands with marketing and successful product launches.

Our Partnership Approach

Whether we're supporting retailers, suppliers or brand owners, we take a collaborative approach focused on long-term success.

Our goal is simple: to help our partners thrive.

By combining industry expertise, dependable service and genuine support, we work alongside our customers and suppliers to create sustainable growth for everyone involved.


Sustainability Matters

Environmental responsibility is embedded in how we operate.  From reducing plastic packaging and increasing recycling to improving delivery efficiency and investing in our fleet, we're continually looking for ways to minimise our environmental impact.

Employee Owned. People Led.

CLF is proud to be an Employee Ownership Trust.

This means our employees are more than team members, they're owners who help shape the future of the business. Through our Employee Council and open culture, every voice matters. Our people are the reason we've grown from a small family operation into a national business, and we're committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can contribute, develop and succeed.
