Our Services
We support premium food and drink brands across the full Distributor → Retailer → In-Store journey. Some brands partner with us for strategic consultancy; others need hands-on brand support in market. Our services flex to meet brands wherever they are in their UK journey.
Consultancy
Our consultancy service provides the strategic foundations brands need to enter, scale, or strengthen their position in the UK’s speciality retail sector—covering route-to-market planning, distributor access, retail buyer engagement, and commercial strategy.
Brand Builders
Brand Builders is our in-store brand support and sales execution service, designed to increase visibility, drive trial, and convert listings into sustainable sales within independent and speciality retail.
“Working with Gourmet Partners Brand Builders has been a true game-changer for our business. Their strategic guidance helped us clearly define our positioning and develop a distribution plan that was genuinely aligned with our stage of growth in the UK market.
What really sets the team apart is their hands-on approach. They opened doors, made key introductions, and directly supported retail listings, confidently presenting our brand to distributors and major supermarkets. This resulted in securing partnerships with two leading speciality food distributors and gaining exposure with top-tier retailers, including Waitrose.
Thanks to their expertise, industry relationships, and ongoing support, we were able to get our brand in front of the right buyers and take a significant step forward in our UK retail journey.”
Stephen Firth, Azouro
“I’ve been working with Gourmet Partners – Brand Builders for two years, and they’ve been essential in growing our business in the independent sector. The team supported us in developing a strong launch strategy and securing listings with major wholesalers.
Their knowledge and insight have been invaluable—and they’re a great bunch to work with. We couldn’t have grown this quickly without them, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
Craig Harries, Flavour Head
