Welcome to Andersons Wholesale (AKA the Norfolk Pole!)

We are a family owned and run wholesale business which was established in 1984 by Betty Anderson.

Originally a shop owner with her husband, Betty and her son Paul started the wholesale business together and they supplied shops throughout East Anglia via van sales with toys, cards, gift wrap, party items and gifts. In the 90s our business rapidly grew locally and when our website was launched, we expanded overseas too and now have many customers all over the world. We now trade solely online, with many great new products daily.

Betty, Paul, his wife Sue and their sons Nick and Matt run the business together with a fabulous team of longstanding, experienced staff. We very much think of them as family too.

Betty is now a great grandma and still very much plays an active role. Her great grandchildren love to see all the new toys we carefully choose - and we like to think that one day they'll become the fourth generation of the Andersons family!

We're the leading online supplier for filled party bags, greeting cards and gifting, toys, party bags and fillers, food boxes, seasonal cards and toys .....and SO much more!

 Here's just a couple of reviews from our lovely customers: 

Sarah-Jane H: We are a not-for-profit community farm and we’ve been using Andersons now and we cannot speak highly enough of them. Their staff are all really helpful and friendly and they always supply us with items for prizes for our fundraising events at really good prices! Nothing is too much trouble and they have helped us out on several occasions when we start running out by sending more stock out really quickly. A real family business who care about their customers. We appreciate that and we will use them many more times, I’m sure! Excellent!!

Barbara F: I've been using Andersons for a few years now. They have a great selection of cards that I require and their delivery service is first class. The website is easy to use. This time I needed a little more information, so I phoned them and was greeted by a very efficient and helpful lady. I would definitely recommend them'.

For several years we've also been the leading supplier of quality pre-wrapped gifts for Santa's grottos - which are all wrapped in and stored in our UK warehouse ready for the festive season. 

Our fabulous team who wrap them are therefore affectionately known by us as our elves. And when ITV featured us on a news programme and Matt joked we were in the 'Norfolk Pole' presenter Natalie Gray included that in the feature ....and it's kinda stuck!

Our extensive range of wrapped Christmas toys ideal for all Santa's Grottos, Christmas events and parties and student gifts are available both at Andersons Wholesale and our sister site www.wrappedgrottotoys.co.uk    

Ceilidh says:'Absolutely fantastic service and amazing products. It took away the stress and time of shopping and wrapping our Santa's grotto gifts. The quality of the items are fantastic. We will definitely be using your company again. Thank you!'
