Eddingtons: Sourcing Innovative and Quirky Housewares Since 2000
Since its founding in 2000 by Brian Rogers, Eddingtons Ltd has stood out from other mainstream housewares suppliers, offering a unique and diverse range of products. The company began in an historic mill in Hungerford and now operates from converted farm buildings in rural Berkshire, creating an informal and friendly working environment.
Eddingtons' focus on functional yet fun products drives its commitment to sourcing and developing tools and gadgets that bring a smile to customers' faces. The company's early team scoured international trade shows to find the perfect Eddingtons product, characterized by its innovative, quirky, and differentiated design.
As Eddingtons grew, it expanded its product range and retail channels, including exclusive distribution partnerships with leading brands. The company also launched its Catering Division in 2013 to cater to restaurants, hotels, and institutional caterers. In 2015, Eddingtons acquired Epicurean Europe, broadening its offerings in outdoor entertaining, barware, melamine tableware, picnic hampers, and more.
In early 2017, Eddingtons continued its growth with the acquisition of Gilberts Food Equipment, expanding its Foodservice offering. Managing Director Richard Gilbert joined the team, bringing over 50 years of experience to the company.
Eddingtons strives for continuous improvement and profitable growth through organic sales and strategic acquisitions, while preserving its cultural DNA built over nearly 20 years. The company values collaboration with customers, brand partners, and suppliers, aiming to grow together while enjoying the process.
Eddingtons remains dedicated to its original philosophy of delivering innovative and differentiated housewares, ensuring customers find functional and delightful products that enhance their homes and lifestyles. As the market evolves, Eddingtons is committed to maintaining its focus on quality, creativity, and partnership for the next 20 years and beyond.
