We are excited to be launching a brand-new service – designed to support businesses based within 5 miles of the town.
Delivering to customers on a completely new, dedicated and smaller local van, more suited to navigating the quaint streets of Bury St Edmunds - and featuring our bright new Ridley’s Local branding. This service will provide Bury’s businesses with a faster, more competitive and more sustainable service from Thomas Ridley.
Offering same-day delivery options, flexible delivery times and local products, as well as offering customers anything from the full range of our wholesale food and drink items, Ridley’s Local will offer a unique and truly local service, designed to be beneficial for everyone.
Emma Wade is the Sales Manager heading up Ridley’s Local, who says:
“We’re passionate about working better with local businesses and really hope that Ridley’s Local will offer something different, something that’s really needed in the town. Instead of trying to squeeze one of our large lorries around the quaint streets of Bury St Edmunds, or business-owners having to take time away from work to pick up much-needed products, this will be a super-speedy, flexible service, on a small, modern van. Exclusive for customers in and around the town, with competitive pricing.
“Ridley’s Local is all about supporting the amazing array of local, independent foodie businesses which we’re so lucky to have here in Bury St Edmunds, with great products coming straight from our depot down the road. By offering no minimum order and same-day delivery, we hope this service will be attractive to the town’s businesses and that you’ll soon see our brightly-coloured Ridley’s Local van zipping around the place!”

Not just for the hospitality trade, any business in or around the town that needs to order drinks and refreshments through to cleaning supplies can take advantage of this service - knowing we are based only a few miles down the road and always have a reliable supply of products.
Passionate about supporting the town, Thomas Ridley was first established as a fine foods shop on Abbeygate Street just over 200 years ago. Growing to stock and deliver more than 5,000 different wholesale food and drink products from its large base in Rougham, covering frozen, fresh, chilled and ambient goods, this new service has been designed to make it easier for Thomas Ridley to support local customers.
