As our core business, we specialise in delivering 1000 litre palletised IBCs and offer unparalleled prices and service levels.
A Green service
We have always operated a “no-fuss” collect and recycle service allowing us to keep costs low and greatly reduce our plastic waste.
25 Litre Drums
The smallest containers we provide are 25 litre drums,
minimum order quantity is 32 drums (800 litres).
Orders of less than a pallet
If you need to order a smaller quantity, we work closely with Vinegar Tips who can supply many of our vinegars in smaller, more flexible, quantities.
Please note, we require all our customers to have access to a fork lift truck at the delivery site for unloading.
We cannot provide tail lifts as our pallets are too heavy for manual handling.
