THE ALLSORTED STORY 

Allsorted Ltd was founded in 2010, and launched to the trade in 2011.  Lincoln Exley, having spent 37 years working for the family gift book publishing company Helen Exley Giftbooks, spotted a significant gap in the market for a book wholesaler.  The business was formed to help retailers in the gift market be more successful with their gift books and kids books.  Of course this was competition in the form of a number of well run book wholesalers in the UK, and in Ireland, but Lincoln knew of gift book wholesalers in other export markets offering a combo of products and service that simply was not all being delivered in the UK in the way it could or should be.

BEST DISPLAYS IN THE BUSINESS   

Do you have problem areas in your shop?   

Could you find some space for displays that would help you to better merchandise books? 

And in doing so, attract more customers, and sell more. Our displays would help you find a place for everything and keep everything in it's place. 

Our displays are free-on-loan and included in the price.

FULFILLMENT …AND HOW WE DELIVER ON OUR PROMISES?

Allsorted is unusual – perhaps even unique among book wholesalers – in that we choose not to run our own warehouse.  This is to focus as much energy as we can on the core areas of our business – buying and selling the right books and then matching them to the right customers.

We use a CONTRACT WAREHOUSE called JBH Associates, who are based in Gloucestershire.

So, all this gives Allsorted flexibility, as we grow and expand, to take on new business without worrying that our warehouse will be too small.  (Or conversely, without the financial risk of taking on a big warehouse that is too big for purpose, only then to become a financial millstone.)  And on a day-to-day basis, we are better prepared to cope with the natural ebbs-and-flows of orders, so when we get a surprise wave of unexpected orders we are better placed to cope with this surge in demand.
