Our journey began in 1990, when our founder, Tim Barnes, travelled across Asia and South America to source authentic ingredients.  Over three decades later, Barnes Williams remains proudly independent, supplying a wide range of dried food ingredients including garlic, onion, tomato, herbs, spices, and fruits.  We are passionate about flavour and proud to serve the UK food industry with ingredients that combine global heritage with consistent quality.

We believe that ingredients are more than commodities—they tell a story.  That’s why we work closely with specialist suppliers around the world, from Peru to China, to ensure provenance, reliability, and taste.  Alongside our sourcing expertise, we invest heavily in food safety and ethical practices, with BRCGS certification, Sedex membership, and FEMAS assurance all underpinning our commitment to doing things the right way.
