Established in 1896, Horwood Homewares is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of kitchenware products. They have three separate brands, each offering a diverse range of products. Stellar specialises in premium, high-quality kitchenware targeted at the home chef, while Judge offers a more affordable range marketed as “the perfect choice for your everyday cooking needs.” Lastly, there is Smidge, the newest addition to the Horwood portfolio. Smidge focuses on sustainable everyday products such as coffee cups, water bottles, and drinking straws.
For most of their existence, Horwood has focused their trade on the High Street market, but in recent times has sought to expand its reach within the B2C market.

As per their request, we provided regular updates and liaised on important issues as and when they arose. Luckily, at Williams Commerce, we believe in including our clients from start to finish. Through ongoing dialogue and feedback, we knew we would deliver on their core objectives.
However, Horwood also had three obligatory requirements:
