It’s English Wine Week, and it’s time to raise a glass to the incredible range of English wines that are making their mark across the country. From supermarkets to independent wine merchants, and from hotels and pubs to bars and restaurants, English wines are becoming a beloved staple. At WBC, we’re thrilled to support this celebration of local viticulture and highlight the accessibility and quality of English wines.

 

WBC: Your Trusted Supplier in the Food and Wine Industry


As the UK and Ireland's leading supplier of carefully curated, responsibly sourced, and cost-effective packaging products for the food and wine industry, WBC has a rich history and a steadfast commitment to excellence. Our product range includes everything from gift and hamper boxes to protective packaging, retail display furniture, and printed fabric bags for life.

Our journey began over 30 years ago with a single van and a few innovative wine packaging ideas. Today, we proudly supply over 9,000 customers annually, predominantly to wine merchants and independent brewers. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to make it effortless for you to find the perfect products by leveraging our expertise, benefiting from our design inspiration, and enjoying exemplary customer service—what we call "perfection made simple."

 

More Than Just Boxes


At WBC, we are more than just a packaging company. Our business is built around understanding and exceeding our customers' needs. We ensure that their products are protected and presented with the same level of care and quality that goes into their creation. Simplicity drives everything we do, from engineering off-the-shelf solutions to conceptualising bespoke creative projects. This commitment gives our customers unparalleled peace of mind, as evidenced by our long-standing client relationships.

 

Commitment to Sustainability


Our purpose extends beyond customer-centricity to include a deep commitment to sustainability. We prioritise the well-being of our people and the planet, not just in words but in action. Our initiatives include:

 

Environment Protection: Pioneering plastic-free packaging solutions.

Community Initiatives: Founding and supporting local community projects.
Responsible Sourcing: Partnering with suppliers who share our values.
Carbon Commitment: Aligning our efforts to help customers navigate the packaging and display landscape with complete transparency.


This mission-driven approach ensures that every customer can trust that their packaging choices are sustainable and responsible.

 

Supporting Local and Independent Businesses


Production figures from wine standards increased by 46% through 2023, and the rising inflation prices have further emphasised the importance of supporting local and small independent businesses. At WBC, we believe in the power of local enterprise and work closely with various associations and food groups to offer discounts and member benefits. If you’re a member of a local trade association, let us know, and we can pass on these savings to you. For instance, we offer £10 off orders over £150.
