The UP story
Beginning with a small spark of success in Oldham, we have grown to become a global success story. We’re the cogs in the retail machine, designing, manufacturing, and distributing innovative branded products at the best prices to a mass market. Our brand portfolio is led by Salter and Beldray, found in major UK stores including Tesco, John Lewis, Morrisons, just to name a few. Our brands have a reputation for high quality and on-trend design, and they’re well-known household names that have stood the test of time – with over 260 years of heritage!
Since 1997, Ultimate Products has provided top-of-the-line kitchen and laundry products to consumers across 38 countries. We have since become a public limited company, achieving an annual turnover that surpasses £165 million each year. UP has strong business connections with internationally renowned retailers and we are dedicated to giving back to the community that helped build us.
Our people are a key driver to our success, and we are proud of creating an environment that enables our colleagues to thrive both professionally and personally, which is why we recently invested £1.6M in a brand-new office at our Oldham headquarters. With thriving employee wellbeing and environmental committees, we are dedicated to empowering our people to have a voice and share their views.
