Nathan Smith, CEO of Whittard of Chelsea, commented, “The Specialty Food Association is a fantastic opportunity to make an impact with some of the finest food and beverage companies in the world.

Whittard of Chelsea is a company with a proud British heritage dating back to the height of London’s indulgent age in 1886. Since then, they have grown, remaining small enough to be personable but old enough to be experts.

“Founded in 1886, Walter Whittard wasn’t the sort to settle for compromise. He first set up shop in bustling Fleet Street, London, with a simple yet innovative philosophy: “buy the best”. Fast forward 136 years, and Whittard of Chelsea is a growing brand, sourcing and selling the highest quality tea, coffee, and hot chocolate from around the world.” Said CEO, Nathan Smith.

Whittard of Chelsea looks forward to meeting with the best in the business and building new and exciting relationships with those who want to sieze on the opportunity to share this iconic British brand with their discerning American shoppers.
