What sets Woodfords apart from the rest?
A Family-Owned Industrial Consumables Supplier Since 1977
Founded in 1977, Woodfords UK began life as a small high street shop in Chertsey. Just 1.2 miles from where it all started, our head office in Woking reflects both our growth and our enduring local roots. Still proudly family-owned and operated, we have built a reputation for integrity, service excellence, and long-term partnerships in the industrial consumables sector.
​
Our Journey and Growth
The Woodfords brand was officially established on 8 July 1992, evolving from our original name, Dalfords. From that point until 2019, the business was operated by the previous owner before a change in ownership brought renewed focus on our core values: family, honesty, and integrity.
​
Over the years, Woodfords has strengthened its offering through strategic acquisitions, including Drakewoods, LE Hyde Industrial Supplies, and Crown Tools and Fixings. This growth strategy has allowed us to expand our portfolio, serve more industries, and continuously improve supply chain efficiency for our customers.
​
Our Values and Community Commitment
At Woodfords UK, we believe that strong businesses are built on strong values. We actively invest in local employment, nurturing skills and talent within our community. As proud supporters of local charities, we see giving back as an essential part of being a company deeply rooted in the areas we serve.
​
National Reach, Personal Service
While our heritage lies in Surrey, today Woodfords UK is a national supplier of industrial consumables, capable of serving businesses anywhere in the UK. Through our distribution centres, transport partners, and dedicated teams, we deliver products quickly, reliably, and efficiently. Unlike large corporate catalogue-driven suppliers, we prioritise personal relationships, tailored solutions, and responsive service – where even our Managing Director is available to speak directly with customers.
​
More Than Supply – Delivering Solutions
Woodfords UK is more than just a supplier – we are a solutions partner. By combining decades of experience with managed services, world-class products, and expert support engineers, we help customers streamline procurement, reduce downtime, and save costs. Our mission is simple: to provide supply chain efficiency with a personal touch.
When you work with us, you are not just another customer – you become part of the Woodfords family.
Looking Ahead
​
The future of Woodfords UK is focused on continuous growth, investment in people, and delivering smarter solutions that meet the evolving needs of our partners. By staying true to our family values, we are committed to shaping a business that continues to lead with integrity while ensuring customers benefit from unmatched service and supply reliability.
