Established in 1965 as ICS Liverpool, our business initially focused on supplying the bustling Liverpool docks and shipyards with a wide range of hygiene and janitorial products. During this period, Liverpool was one of the busiest port cities in the country. The Beatles were achieving worldwide fame, and both Liverpool and Everton FC were dominating English football.
Over the years, we expanded into the healthcare and education sectors, with our expertise and product range seeing high demand. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, we embraced the digital age by developing our own ICS Liverpool website. This era also marked our entry into the hospitality industry. Joining the Socius Network in 2012, a buying group, allowed us to broaden our offerings to include not just chemicals and janitorial supplies but also crockery, glassware, food packaging, and more.
Now in our third generation as a family-owned and operated company, we recognized the need for a fresh, modern brand that reflected our target market. In 2020, we rebranded as Ware UK, a name that clearly represents our offerings: janitorial and catering ware used daily by companies in healthcare, education, facilities management, and hospitality. Today, we are one of the leading distributors in the North West, with over 25,000 products and a reputation for high-quality customer service.
