Maddisons UK Is Now Depot: Same Great Service, Brand New Look

If you’ve been searching for Maddisons UK, you’re in the right place, just with a brand new name, a fresh website, and an updated look that better reflects who we are today. Welcome to Depot Catering & Cleaning Supplies, your local and reliable wholesaler for catering supplies, cleaning supplies, and janitorial supplies in Colchester and Essex.

Why We Rebranded

We’ve been proudly serving Colchester, Ipswich and beyond since 1995, when Nigel Maddison started delivering supplies to local cafés and restaurants with just a van and a vision. Since then, we’ve grown into a trusted supplier for schools, care homes, local businesses, and hospitality venues across the region. But with that growth, we realised something important, which was that our name and brand needed to evolve with us.

That’s why Maddisons UK has officially rebranded as Depot: Catering & Cleaning Supplies.

Under the leadership of Michelle Mersh since 2008, we’ve continued to build on Nigel’s legacy while expanding our product range, modernising our systems, and improving our customer experience. Our new identity isn’t just about a sleeker logo or a smarter website (although we’ve got both!). It’s about making it easier for you, our customers, to find what you need quickly and order it effortlessly.

What’s Changed?

The name, the logo, and the website – but that’s it. Our old branding featured a jester – a playful nod to Nigel’s personality. Our service remains just as dependable, our team just as friendly, and our stockroom just as packed with quality food packaging supplies, cleaning products, and janitorial supplies.

We knew it was time to update the look and feel of the business to something that better represented the professionalism and reliability we’ve come to be known for. While Maddisons UK had a lot of heart and history, we wanted a name that reflected where we are now and where we’re heading.

With Depot, you’ll find a brand that’s modern, memorable, and above all, practical. After all, we’re here to help you get on with the job, whether that’s running a school kitchen, maintaining a clean care home, or managing a bustling café.

A Smoother Online Experience

One of the biggest drivers behind the rebrand was improving our website. Let’s face it, the old Maddisons UK site had done its job, but it was time for something better.

The new site is mobile-friendly, easy to navigate, and designed to save you time. Looking for janitorial supplies? You’ll find them in a flash. Need food packaging supplies? We’ve made it easier than ever to browse by category and order in a few clicks, all while keeping in mind food safety and hygiene best practices required in the catering industry.

Whether you’re reordering your usual stock or discovering new cleaning products, the new website makes your buying experience smooth and hassle-free.

Still Local, Still Loyal

While the branding might be new, our values are anything but. We’ve always been proud to support the local community, and that will never change. From Colchester schools to Ipswich care homes, we understand what local businesses need and go the extra mile to provide it.

Michelle puts it perfectly:

“This rebrand isn’t just about a new name. It’s about realigning our identity with the business we’ve built – and the business we want to continue growing. We’re here to support our community with outstanding service, reliable products, and lasting partnerships.”

What Happens Next?

If you were used to ordering from Maddisons UK, you can continue doing just that, only now, you’ll find us under a new name. Your trade accounts, pricing, and deliveries remain unchanged.

Many of our long-time Maddisons UK customers will notice just how much simpler the ordering process is now. And for anyone still Googling Maddisons UK to find us – don’t worry, you’re in exactly the right place.

You’ll simply be dealing with Depot: Catering & Cleaning Supplies – same team, same commitment, just a clearer, more user-friendly experience from start to finish.
