W.G. Buchanan & Son Ltd

W.G. Buchanan & Son Ltd are a family owned and operated company that has been sourcing and supplying whole food ingredients since 1871.

Our Buchanans brand was best known for “Soup Mix”, our wholesome blend of barley, lentils and split peas remains our best-selling retail product.

Over the years, we have greatly expanded our range to adapt to differing eating trends and consumer demands and our range now encompasses a comprehensive range of cereals, pulses, rice, dried fruit, seeds and culinary nuts in both retail and foodservice pack sizes.

Our current Managing Director, Jonathan McVeigh is the grandson of William McVeigh who worked alongside the Buchanan family until he eventually bought the business from them in 1940, retaining the original brand name.

We have a robust quality control system in place which is accredited by BRC, our site based in Carrickfergus has two separate production facilities which enables strict allergen control.

As well as our Buchanans brand we also provide private label services to customers in the UK and Ireland in both retail and catering sizes. With a wealth of experience passed through the generations we take great pride in forming lasting relationships with all of our suppliers to ensure a consistent supply of quality products. This key principle is entrenched throughout each area of the business and allows us not only to deliver quality products and exceptional customer service and satisfaction, but also offer competitive pricing to our customers which enables them to compete and succeed in their respective markets.
