Why Bestway

Welcome to Bestway Wholesale, the largest independent wholesaler in the UK with a fascinating history dating back to 1963. Our founder, Sir Anwar Pervez, started his entrepreneurial journey with a small corner shop called Kashmir in London. He quickly grew his convenience store business to 10 shops and became frustrated with the high prices charged by wholesale suppliers.

Determined to offer a better deal to independent retailers, Pervez and his partners opened their own wholesale business, Bestway Wholesale, in 1976. The company started with a single depot in Acton, west London, but soon expanded to open warehouses across the country in the 1980s and 90s. Today, Bestway Wholesale is a diversified multinational business with interests across multiple sectors. Our CEO, Zameer Choudrey, has been instrumental in the company's growth and diversification alongside Dawood Pervez the day to day MD.

Bestway Wholesale is predominantly a B2B business and serves over 130,000 retailers and 3,000 franchisees across the UK through its 59 depots, delivery network and e-commerce channels. Bestway Wholesale offers close to 6 million square feet of selling space and over 25,000 product lines. Bestway Wholesale has a network of over 200 company operated stores. In addition to supplying thousands of convenience stores and small shops, Bestway Wholesale also operates the award-winning Best-one symbol group which has 1,400 members throughout the country. Over 3,500 independents have chosen our depot-run promotional club, Xtra Local, as their retail club of choice.
