H.G. Stephenson Ltd are an award-winning independent distributor of catering equipment, with an extensive range of crockery, glassware, food packaging, cleaning consumables, bar and kitchen equipment. They are based in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England.
Trading under ‘Stephensons’, the company is owned and run by the fifth generation of the family. The business was founded by Henry George Stephenson in 1860, with a stall he rented at the Salford Flat Iron markets. Later in 1868, he moved the business to the newly built Barton Arcade in Manchester. In the late 1960s, Stephensons moved to the Kennerley Works in Stockport, and this is still the company’s base today.
In 2013, the business expanded its Stockport site by investing in neighbouring premises that were previously occupied by Piggott & Whitfield Ltd. This extension saw the site add over 30,000 sq ft. In November 2015, Stephensons responded to online growth by acquiring a 13,500 sq.ft. warehouse to improve customer service and buying power. In 2022, they expanded this space to over 62,000 sq ft.
In November 2018, 150 years after the company was established at Barton Arcade, H.G. Stephenson Ltd were named as the Manchester Evening News Business of the Year in the £10-25 Million Turnover Category.
