Criddle & Co. Ltd.

Based in Liverpool, we source and supply co-products from the processing of naturally grown materials such as oilseeds and grain, buying on world markets, including North and South America, Europe and parts of Asia.

The name of Criddle has been associated with the company's animal feed activities for much of its history.

The parent company is one of Britain's largest, privately-owned family businesses, with an established tradition, shared by Criddle, of quality, service and innovation.

The Criddle team has its finger on the pulse of raw material supplies. Many of the team have worked within the business for a long time and know the markets inside out.

World markets for our feedstuff ingredients, like many commodities, are in a constant state of flux, with prices changing from hour to hour.

Our market knowledge and experience, coupled with computerised real-time price information, ensure that we source the best products at the best prices for our UK-wide customer base.

We monitor every factor that might have a bearing on quality, availability and price - including plantings, weather, harvests, shipments and world demand.

But our role does not end with sourcing and contracting the sale. Far from it. Using specialised transport contractors and our experienced logistics team, we arrange deliveries to suit our customers needs and requirements.

Adding all these elements together, we think Criddle is a unique business - but that doesn't stop us from continuously striving to improve it.

At Criddle we pride ourselves on our responsive customer service. We can and do work with short lead times without compromising on any element of our service.

The company operates to written quality standards, reflecting its commitment to rigorous process and systems management. We also vet and lay down strict guidelines both for our suppliers and for the contractors who deliver the ingredients. These are not just finishing touches but fundamental elements of the way Criddle does business.
