Available Job Today Company Intro
Kennelpak Limited was founded in 1974 as a supplier of both own brand and third party branded pet food products. In 1983 we opened our first store, initially named Kennelgate, which today operates as Pets & Friends both online and across a multi-site retail estate. Kennelpak Wholesale and Distributor division owns a number of successful own brands within its portfolio as well as having sole distribution rights for a number of large, international brands of pet food, treats and accessories. Our Support Centre and warehousing facilities are based in Stapleford, Nottingham, just off the M1 junction 25.
In addition to selling a selection of pet food, accessories, and toys across both the Wholesale and Retail channels, we also provide an array of services, including grooming, dog training, nutritional advice, and licensed medication. At the core of Kennelpak’s values and proposition is our genuine passion for pets.
In 2017 PE house, Endless LLP, acquired Kennelpak recognising the exciting platform from which they could drive accelerated growth in an expanding sector. As a result, Kennelpak is currently going through a period of transformation whilst delivering significant growth.
