Hilltop Honey

Born from a beekeeping hobby in 2011, Hilltop Honey has grown into the second-largest honey producer in the UK. The brand celebrates the artistry of beekeeping and the team remains focused on the origins of their products.

Hilltop Honey has seen rapid growth in the UK. Its products can be found on all major supermarket shelves. When we met the team, they were hungry for more.

However, they needed help to gain traction with their global growth aspirations. They highlighted the US, the Middle East, and Australia as their priority markets. 

To help, we planned a market visit to the US and presented Hilltop Honey to our network of providers. As a result, they’re on track to secure their first contract with Walmart Marketplace in North America.

The team at Santander has demonstrated an excellent understanding of our business, creatively supporting Hilltop Honey with its US offering, namely with Walmart and Amazon Marketplace. As we look to the future, we’re very happy to have a banking partner who can fully support our strategic objectives.

Our £8.7m funding package will boost Hilltop Honey’s working capital helping to accelerate their growth as they work to expand the business. It will also increase their ability to hold more stock and drive recruitment in the UK. 

We’re delighted to welcome Hilltop Honey as a new client. As a fast-growing business, we’re very pleased to be able to provide a funding package that will support their strategic growth objectives.
