Chesterfield’s central location, being only one hour away from 70% of the UK population, gives us the ability to offer a prompt and efficient service to our national UK customers, and gives us a sense of identity that is part of our heritage. From small beginnings as ‘The Spire Tea Company’ in 1936, Chesterfield has offered us everything that we need, from dedicated, long serving staff, to dedicated, long standing customers! We love it here!”
