Smiths News is the UK’s largest news wholesaler, operating from 39 distribution centres and serving 25,500 customers every day of the year. We work closely with publishers and retailers to meet the needs of millions of consumers across the UK.

 Working together with the Fed is important for Smiths News, as it enables us to really understand the needs of Independent Retailers. We work closely across areas such as query resolution, customer services, supply management and resolving any delivery issues. 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.
