Providing Local Shops With Premium High Street Brands

About Us

At Forte Trading, we bridge the gap between premium high street brands and independent local retailers across the UK. We specialise in sourcing high-quality products from well-known brands and supplying them to smaller shops that may not have the buying power of larger chains.

Our mission is simple: to empower independent retailers by giving them access to sought-after products at competitive prices. We understand the challenges that smaller businesses face in securing premium stock, and we’re here to make the process seamless, efficient, and cost-effective.

With a keen eye for market trends and a commitment to exceptional service, Forte Trading ensures that independent stores can offer their customers the same quality and variety found in larger retail chains—helping them compete, grow, and thrive.

Whether you're a local shop looking for unique, high-demand products or a brand seeking a reliable distributor, Forte Trading is your trusted partner in premium retail supply.

Our Story

Supporting Your Local Business

Forte Trading was founded by Danilo Ferrigno and Tom Travis with a simple mission: to help independent high street stores access quality products at competitive prices, enabling them to thrive alongside larger retailers. With backgrounds in retail and supply chain management, Danilo and Tom recognised the challenges small businesses face when sourcing products and wanted to offer a solution.

They built Forte Trading on a foundation of strong supplier relationships, personalised service, and a commitment to supporting independent retailers. By leveraging their industry expertise and networks, they’ve helped countless businesses access the products they need to grow and succeed.

As the company continues to grow, Forte Trading remains dedicated to its founding vision: offering tailored sourcing solutions, exceptional customer service, and the best products for independent stores. Danilo and Tom are hands-on in every aspect of the business, ensuring their clients always get the attention and expertise they deserve.
