The fundamentals we look for:

Open communication

This is critical, transparency is the only way to operate the service levels our customer’s demand; lack of it negatively impacts TOTT’s credibility. The UK is a unique territory, our suppliers respect this and value our ideas and feedback because we engage with the end user.

Innovation

To beat the best, you must be better. Better products, processes, technology, people; our suppliers all champion innovation throughout their businesses - just as we do.

Exclusivity

This is what TOTT was founded on and these days it’s non-negotiable, to successfully introduce and grow a brand you also must protect it. Competition is fierce, why fight other representatives of the same brand? We look for exclusive agreements, in return we don’t stock competing brands.

Quality

We don’t distribute high volumes at low prices. We have a return rate of less than 1% and we want to keep it that way.

Sustainability

It’s important for all of us to have at least one eye on the future. To do better for the environment and our people. The UK market is hot on sustainability, TOTT are AB members of SEDDEX as are many of our suppliers, and all suppliers comply with regular production site audits.

Brands set the standards and drive the innovation for every market in the World. We own some of the brands in our portfolio, many we don’t but all are specialist, replicating our passion, desire, and obsession.
