Following a successful career spanning 20 years working in the Toy and Stationery business Applegate Sales Network was formed in 1992. Its main function set out to help small to medium size companies bring their products to market through high street multiple retail chains that would otherwise not be aware of their existence. To offer advice, source new innovations and help those companies achieve a level of success which they may not have otherwise been able to afford.

To help inventors, manufacturers and designers come together in a way they had not previously imagined possible. "Knowledge Is Power"

In almost every case this has been achieved with results beyond all expectations with products and brands on shelves of major stores in Europe. "Famous by our Anonymity"

Earlier this year the name was changed to Applegate Global Sourcing Network as the company now has associates on a global scale. Its function has altered to suit the demands from customers and principals alike with responsibility for sales in excess of £5M. Reflecting aprox. £ 13M at retail value.

Retailing and manufacturing in Europe has never been subject to greater changes in recent years than we are experiencing today, which brings a greater need to know:

• WHO can we trust to supply on time?
• WHAT products are consumers looking for and why?
• WHERE can we source new and innovative products?
• WHEN will the next HOT line be available?
• WHY can’t I get the quality I need at the right price?
