Sourcing & Agency
Acting as agent to bring buyers and suppliers together, and helping both sides reach workable terms.
Food & drink agents · Malmesbury
The right supplier, found and introduced.
Claske Ltd brings food and drink buyers together with the people who produce it — as agents on the ground, and through a trade portal that keeps the search from starting at zero every time.

Who we are
Two ways of solving the same problem.
Finding a supplier you can rely on is slow, and most of the work is repeated by every buyer who comes after you. We do it as agents where a deal needs a person, and through a portal where it needs a search.
Agency. Agents involved in the sale of food and beverages. (SIC 46170)
Web portals. Web portals. (SIC 63120)
Introductions. We bring the parties together; the contract is theirs.
No stock. We are agents, not a wholesaler — we never take title to goods.
What we do
What we doSourcing, introductions and the portal
The Trade Portal
A searchable directory of suppliers and categories, so a buyer does not start every search from nothing.
Supplier Discovery
Finding candidates against a real specification — volume, certification, lead time and where it has to be delivered.
Negotiation Support
Helping the parties agree price, volume, lead times and the practical detail before a first order.
Order Coordination
Keeping the first orders moving between the two parties and flagging problems early.
Category Insight
What is available, what is tight and what is moving in the categories we cover.
How an introduction works
From requirement to first order
Four steps, and at the end of them you have a supplier relationship rather than a referral fee.
1 · Requirement
Volumes, specification, certification and where it has to land.
2 · Shortlist
Candidate suppliers from the portal and from people we already know.
3 · Introduce
We make the introduction and help the two sides reach terms.
4 · Follow up
We check the first orders landed as agreed and stay reachable after.
