Founded by Mohammad Ramzan in 1977, United Wholesale Grocers Ltd began life as one-man counter grocery store in Maryhill, Glasgow. Over the years, the organisation has grown into one of the largest privately owned companies in the UK and now employs over 210 people with a turnover in excess of £220 million.
Food and drink have always been the lifeblood of United Wholesale having wholesale & distribution operations with a geographical spread across Scotland & the North East of England. United Wholesale’s success has been built upon a distinct culture focused upon positive and friendly relations with staff, customers, and the communities it serves. This culture is defined in United We Stand, a series of statements that outline the longstanding values of the United family and those that will continue to drive the company’s growth for the next century.
