KTC Almond Oil 500 ml

Product Information

I have treid in vain to get the details for Sea Isle customer service to no avail and each time I ring their HQ I get no reply. I wrote about the many Hair Oils available some weeks ago, and the best Hair Oils for growth. Well I have been experimenting with a few new hair oils to discover the best hair oil for our hair (that is myself and my baby girl). I’d say the split is about 60/40 in favour of branded versus private label. We could certainly take on more private label vegetable oils. We blow our own PET bottles in our Wednesbury factory.

It is so good for our hair. I have noticed a massive growth in our hair, especially my daughter’s, since we started using it. Our newest products are Smoothies, Peri Peri sauces and a new Sea Isle Very Hot Pepper Sauce, which will blow your head off! They were launched in April, so it’s too early to tell how they’re selling just yet, but Smoothies in particular look like a real winner. Let’s hope we have a good summer. GT – What is your brief as Sales Director? How are you organised in terms of sales to the different sectors?KTC serves the whole spectrum of the UK and export food trade including the major multiples, the major wholesale groups and food manufacturers and processors supplying foodservice and retail. It is a great multi-tasking oil. Fabulous for moisturising he skin (I add it to my regular lotion), conditioning he hair (I use it in my spray bottle with some water), and cooking. KTC (Edibles) is probably best known to the UK food industry as Britain’s largest independent manufacturer and distributor of oils and fats. The KTC and Sea Isle food brands, which it also markets here, are familiar to Asian and Afro-Caribbean consumers both in the UK and, through KTC’s export arm, in many countries overseas. KTC has had a busy last few months: significant new business wins on both the retail and foodservice fronts and the introduction of a number of new speciality products and recipe ingredients have gone hand in hand with KTC’s retail products’ increasing popularity with adventurous Brit consumers. It all means KTC is strongly placed for further growth all round, as Mike Baldrey, KTC (Edibles) Ltd’s Sales Director, explained to The Grocery Trader.

We support the Notting Hill Carnival, as well as many food shows and regional Melas (Asian community festivals.) KTC has been a long term supporter of the Asian media, especially TV, films and magazines. We offer recipe leaflets on many items and have been associated with Madhur Jaffrey and other Asian cooks in the past. It’s quite simple: we offer personal attention, competitive prices and have 700 products to choose from.GT – The ‘corporate’ suppliers largely dominate the UK retail oils and fats market. What are the benefits to customers of dealing with an independent supplier like KTC? GT – You recently launched some exciting new products. What are they, and when did you launch them? How are they doing? GT – What proportion of your retail and speciality sales go through supermarkets, Co-ops and C-store chains? How fast is this business growing?
