Our Services

Kite provides business services to the entire food supply chain.

Recognised as a specialist in the UK dairy industry, we also work with livestock and arable businesses, serving market sectors including farming, the agricultural supply trade, food processors, retailers and public sector organisations. In addition, we are recognised for our pioneering environmental work, particularly on the carbon footprint of primary production. We also operate a sister company, Advance Sourcing, which works to secure the best deals on agricultural inputs for our clients.

We are proud of our knowledge-base and our relationships, which are unique in fostering communication and understanding across the entire chain from farm to retailer.
