The Shropshire Hamper Company has announced it is being taken over by fellow Shropshire business, The Hostโs Pantry.
The Shropshire Hamper Company was launched by the owners of Shropshire Festivals, Beth and Sid Heath, in September 2020 to diversify during the pandemic. The business bought from local food and drink companies that were unable to exhibit at their festivals, which were on hold due to covid restrictions.
The business has been bought by Jessica Beardmore and Scott Woodland from The Hostโs Pantry. They offer a stress-free solution to hosting at home by sourcing all the premium produce and ingredients needed for one of their recipes, which they deliver in a neat package straight to your door.
โThe Hamper Company has grown into a fantastic corporate gifting solution,โ said Beth Heath from Shropshire Festivals. โOver the last three years weโve delivered thousands of Christmas hampers to some of Shropshireโs leading businesses. The hampers we create are usually branded up in the businessโ logos and colours and filled with a bespoke selection of handpicked products. Business leaders love having the opportunity to support local food and drink businesses and having all the stress of Christmas gifting taken away from them.
โThe success of the business means itโs ready to be taken to the next level, and The Hostโs Pantry is the perfect fit to continue that growth. They are experts at sourcing quality ingredients from local suppliers for their hosting solution boxes. With their contacts and experience, the Shropshire Hamper Company will go from strength to strength.โ
The Hostโs Pantry exhibited at the Shrewsbury Food Festival this year, run by Beth Heath and her Shropshire Festivals team.
โAfter meeting Beth at the food festival, we began discussing the takeover of the hamper business, which fits really well with the services we already offer,โ said Jessica Beardmore, founder of The Hostโs Pantry.
โBoth businesses work with trusted local suppliers, bringing a selection of quality products together into a premium, hassle-free package. Weโre excited to develop what the Shropshire Hamper Company offers and continue to champion the best food and drink products made in the Shropshire area.โ
Prices start from ยฃ35 per hamper. Find out more at shropshirehamper.co.uk
