About Us

Based in Dunfermline, Fife we distribute ambient and chilled speciality, artisan foods across the UK using our own fleet of dual temperature (ambient/chilled) vehicles. We are proud to supply a range of independent retail customers including delis, cafés, farm shops, garden centres, butchers, fishmongers, bars and hotels.

The company started in 2004 with a small lock up and a second-hand van working with five or six Scottish fine food manufacturers who were looking for better distribution throughout Scotland. As the business, grew, we opened additional depots in Milton Keynes, Maltby, Telford and Bristol and now offer national distribution.

The Cress Co are proud to work with hundreds of fine food manufacturers distributing thousands of different products. We are members of the Guild of Fine Foods and Farma and are keen to support both independent manufacturers and retailers. We pride ourselves on looking after our customers and ensuring we listen and adapt to their needs because without them we wouldn't be here.

We are incredibly honoured to be voted the No.1 Distributor for the 8th consecutive year by members of the Guild of Fine Food . This achievement wouldn’t be possible without the trust and support of our amazing customers.

From all of us at Cress Co, thank you for your continued support!

A very special thanks to all our staff across the business, from Buying & Purchasing, Sales & Customer Services and Finance to Dispatch, Transport and Warehousing.

We are raising £1000 to donate to St Columba's Hospice Care.

The Cress Co & Adamson's teams are raising money for St Columba's Hospice Care by challenging themselves by walking, running, swimming or cycling our way to 2,400 miles - the distance our amazing trunk drivers cover in a single night!

We set this challenge to help St Columba's Hospice Care; palliative care based in Edinburgh.
