“A unique business, with a unique story”

The Ringtons brand proposition continues to grow from strength to strength. Founded in 1907 by Samuel Smith, we have a long history and tradition of delivering high quality tea, coffee and biscuits directly to our customers door, through our dedicated van sales team. Our proposition is unique! And we remain the only company in the world to deliver tea and more, door to door. Our sales people are at the heart of our success. We deliver first class products with exceptional service and a personal & friendly touch to over 260,000 UK households -from Edinburgh down to Peterborough and from Lancashire across to East Anglia. Our product range consists of 20 different teas, 10 coffees, biscuits, cakes & sweets. In addition, we offer special and seasonal products, such as teapots, caddies, beakers, hampers and gifts. Our multi-million pound business remains family owned to this day and is run from our Newcastle-upon-Tyne base. All our teas and fresh coffees are blended and packed at our modern North East production facility to the highest possible quality and standards. We also make own label products for many big name supermarkets and retailers

“Support & training”

Effective training is the key to success which is why we’ve developed a fully comprehensive support programme which includes: two weeks intensive pre-launch training at our head offices in Newcastle, and at one of our sales offices gaining hands-on experience with our managers, trainers and sales people; on van, training and support for the first four weeks of trading; up to 10 days support/training from a dedicated Ringtons business coach; online training modules; online resource library.

The Ringtons franchise offers the potential for high earnings and rather than setting out theoretical projections of potential turnover and profit levels, we prefer to relate to actual track record, in line with best franchising practice.

“Is a Ringtons franchise right for you…..?”

Ringtons has ambitious plans to build on our successful franchise network across the UK and are looking for franchisees who are: happy to work outdoors; passionate about starting and building their own business; enthusiastic about serving and helping customers; hardworking and want to develop themselves -personally and professionally; able to make the required financial investment.

Graham Symes, A Franchisee Owner in Devon says, ‘Living in the South, I wasn’t aware of Ringtons or what they did, so naturally I was sceptical as to how successful it would be. I soon realised that people love the personal service and I’ve got to know many customers as friends. They look forward to seeing me as much as I look forward to seeing them. The quality of the products really is world class and the support from everyone at Ringtons is great. The training I received was first class and the on-the-job training with another salesperson taught me everything I need to know and having them there during the first weeks was a great kick-start. I’ve exceeded my Year 1 target and I expect to do even better this year.’
