About
A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd is one of the largest and most forward-thinking family-owned businesses in the UK. The company began life in 1917 as a counter-service grocery store and has grown from these humble beginnings into a company that now employs more than 7,000 people and has a turnover of more than £1 billion.
Food and drink have always been the lifeblood of A.F. Blakemore, and the business now entails retail, wholesale distribution, food service and shop fitting divisions. A.F. Blakemore is the largest division of SPAR UK, owning 267 SPAR stores and serving more than 900 in total across England and Wales.
The company’s portfolio of brands also includes Philpotts, a chain of prepared-food stores, and Vegan Store, a specialist online wholesaler and retailer.
