Parfetts has been awarded Large Business of the Year at the Stockport Business Awards. The Stockport-based wholesaler has supported retailers regionally for over 40 years.

Parfetts now supports more than 1,650 independent retailers nationwide through our fascia estate as we continue our ambitious national expansion.

With turnover increasing by 110% over the past six years to reach £800 million.

Founded in 1980, Parfetts has evolved from a regional cash and carry into one of the UK’s fastest-growing wholesale businesses, with new depots extending its reach well beyond its North West roots.

Our success is underpinned by a unique employee-owned business model, which enables the company to reinvest in growth while rewarding colleagues through sales and profit-share bonuses.

Guy Swindell, Joint Managing Director of Parfetts, commented: “We’re proud to be recognised in our hometown of Stockport. This award is a testament to the dedication of our colleagues, whose hard work has driven our growth, and to the independent retailers we support every day. From new depots to expanding our Go Local fascia, Parfetts is proving that employee ownership and long term investment create real strength in the wholesale sector.”

The Stockport Business Awards, founded and organised by CN Chartered Accountants in 2011, celebrates business excellence across the borough. Each year, the awards recognises the companies and entrepreneurs that make Stockport one of the most dynamic business communities in Greater Manchester.

This award reinforces Parfetts’ continued commitment to growth, innovation, and community.
