For over 200 years, Smiths News has been delivering newspapers to retailers across Great Britain.

Our scale, experience and expertise in this uniquely time sensitive supply chain are unparalleled.

Already Great Britain’s largest and leading news wholesaler, we are a scale logistics provider with the capability and ambition to expand from our core business. We are proud of this heritage and the difference we make to communities every day.

But we are also looking forward, expanding our product range and evolving our services to meet the growing demand for early morning delivery and collection.

Working with the Fed

We’re also in constant dialogue about how we can support each other to offer additional services to Independent Retailers.

We want to hear what’s important to you, so send your feedback in via your local branch, or volunteer to join our next focus group.

Working together with the Fed is important for Smiths News, as it enables us to have a close understanding of the needs of Independent Retailers.

We work across areas such as query resolution, customer services, supply management and resolving any delivery issues.
