Run by its Members, for its Members.
Since Landmark Wholesale was established in 1972, our marketplace has changed dramatically and the Group has continued to grow through several economic cycles. The multiples have shown that ‘big is beautiful’ and it’s a fact that Suppliers respond to size and scale.
That’s why, today more than ever before, membership of a Group like Landmark Wholesale is crucial for the prosperity of the Independent Sector. As one of the UK’s largest Wholesale Groups, Landmark Wholesale wields massive buying power and negotiates excellent terms for our Members.
But low prices are not the only benefit of being a part of Landmark Wholesale...

Landmark Wholesale Members share a vision for the future of the Sector – we put together a great marketing programme with quality promotions. We’ve got fantastic Own Brand ranges and the industry-leading Lifestyle Express Retail Development Programme – run to strengthen our Wholesale Members’ Retailers.

We have great I.T. and we have a no nonsense open book Accounting Policy. Our Annual Conference is acknowledged to be the best in the business.
