Through our UK offices and offices in Hong Kong and Mainland China we are dedicated to offering our trading partners top brands at exceptional value for money. RKW distributes over 3000 product lines and holds £25m of stock, ready for immediate delivery. Major brands owned by RKW include Tower, Akai, Carmen, Pifco, Warmlite, Elgento and Natural Life and also licenses the Morphy Richards brand for cookware and housewares.

Recent and continual investments drive our phenomenal success, with now the infrastructure in place as we plan for future growth. The business consolidated its operating bases with a £20m new global distribution centre launched in 2014. This investment gives RKW the capability of delivering over 100,000 parcels a week, with storage space in excess of 345,000 sq ft, enabling us to continue to accommodate the demands of our customers. We have a vastly experienced buying team who proactively source products from all around the world bringing our customers new exciting, innovative products that maximise profits and offer great value at the lowest price on the market. As one of the pioneers of the "when it’s gone it’s gone" promotions, we ensure our trading partners are also offered one-off deals that earn revenue, create foot fall and customer loyalty.

    Tis the season... ⭐🎄🎉 We kicked the festive season off with a bang and had the best time at our RKW Christmas Party last weekend! We had a great night of singing, dancing and letting our hair down! The end of the year is always a busy time for the business so we got in early and celebrated in style. We are also celebrating 35 years so a fantastic excuse for a get together 💪 We hope everyone had a fantastic time! Here's to next year!

    As today is Stress Awareness Day, we wanted to share some top tips to manage and reduce stress... 🖌️ Do Something Creative - Did you know being creative uses a different part of the brain to the one that produces stress? So draw a picture, bake a cake or knit a scarf - just get creative! 👟 Get Moving - Any form of exercise is great no matter how intense it is, so get moving in any way to release endorphins and reduce stress! ⛅ Go Outside - Whilst this is harder in the winter as the days are shorter, but perhaps try and do a short walk on your lunch break! 🧁 Make Time for the Things You Enjoy - An easy way to improve your day is to do one small thing each day that you enjoy like having your favourite food or listening to your favourite song! 💛 Talk to Someone - We have all heard a problem shared is a problem halved so speak to someone! Whether that is a friend, family member, or even one of our Mental Health First Aiders.

    🔦 Employee Spotlight 🔦 Recently, our current SDA Product Manager, celebrated her 5 year anniversary at RKW! We wanted to take this opportunity to talk about her incredible role journey and get her thoughts on the last 5 years... Having started as an Order Processer, she is now in Product Management, handling all things SDA. After being at RKW for 5 years she says "you can really feel that it is a family run business and that RKW want to help people to succeed and grow within their company and meet their full potential". Leah is a shining example of this growth and evident of the professional progression opportunities available within the business. Congratulations Leah and we can't wait to see your journey continue ⭐
