The complete solution for home lifestyle retailers. About Us We pride ourselves on being one of the UKs most influential suppliers and distributers in home lifestyle products to the retail trade. Established as a family business in 1988, we have grown exponentially to become a market leader within the industry. Starting as a kitchenware business, Premier rose to prominence with ceramic kitchenware product lines such as Royal Windsor and Regent Pearl. The success of these lines allowed us to expand the scope of our business to include textiles and home interiors.
Being able to adapt to different marketplaces has given Premier the capacity to be constantly developing new product ranges, allowing us to stay ahead of trends. Today, with an expanding global customer and supplier base, Premier is now an international leader in interiors and can facilitate a comprehensive solution for housewares and home lifestyle retailers in the UK and abroad.
