About Us

goodnus Ltd is a leading food and beverage distribution business with our main depot in Harlow. We specialise in supplying and delivering a wide range of office refreshments, including milk, milk alternatives, fruit, snacks, tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, and chilled drinks to some of the most iconic businesses and buildings within London.

We're a sustainably focussed company and believe that limiting the impact on the environment should be a leading consideration when making any business decision, and actively encourage our customers to adopt a similar mentality, when it comes to purchasing food and drink that's consumed within the office.

We achieve this using a variety of methods such as striving to work with local suppliers that use sustainable production and packaging processes or signing-up customers to our inventory management and replenishment service, which minimises food waste, or simply by helping our customers to consolidate their orders to reduce food mile emissions.

As a SALSA accredited business, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of food safety and operational compliance, therefore please apply if you're interested in becoming part of a team that is dedicated to delivering excellence.
