Ringtons is a nationwide producer of award-winning tea, specialty coffee and other items such as biscuits, gifts, sweet treats and much more.
Our story dates back to 1907 when Samuel Smith started the business with the idea to sell quality tea directly to people at their home. He started with a £250 investment from a business partner, and a horse drawn cart. Today, Ringtons has one of the largest tea and coffee manufacturing facilities in the UK and remains a family business under the custodianship of the fifth generation of the Smith family.
The original delivery method of horse and cart has been replaced many times over the years, however product quality combined with the original doorstep delivery method remain unique to Ringtons.
With over 250,000 customers nationwide and 45 million Ringtons drinks produced every week, it's fair to say we know our coffee and tea. Our expertise in the beverages industry ensures fresh, quality tea and coffee is delivered within weeks of being made and our customers have the best experience whether they buy online or from one of our dedicated doorstep salespeople.
Doorstep customers receive a regular delivery of tea, coffee, edibles and gifts straight to their homes via our traditional doorstep delivery service, whilst our online store brings Ringtons products to a world-wide audience.
Our tea and coffee facility based in the North of England not only produces its own range of tea and coffee, it also roasts specialty coffee as well as creating private label opportunities including buying, packing and blending tea for prestigious UK retailers. We also provide the Ringtons standard to the nations cafes, restaurants, hotels and workplaces via our wholesale division.
Taking accountability for the whole process, Ringtons invests in its supply chain and maintains control over all production and innovation included it’s LeafLock technology.
At Ringtons, we are committed to continuous improvement. We believe in the principles of doing what's right, building collaborative relationships, and supporting growth, which are at the heart of our values and the Ringtons Way.
What our Staff Say
“I have worked in retail and hospitality most of my career and working at Ringtons is by far the best job I have ever had. When I say I have a work-life balance, I really mean it. In previous jobs, I was working up to 19 hours per day whereas here, I tend to finish at 5.30pm and what’s even better I can drive home in the company van, there is no weekend work or night shifts and we get all public holidays off, including Christmas and New Year!
“Being family-owned, you are definitely treated as an individual rather than a number and my managers take the time to listen to me and help me progress. I have grown so much in the time I have been here and been rewarded greatly for my efforts. With uncapped commission the role is really what you make it.
- Salesperson/Delivery Driver, North Tyneside.
“Prior to Ringtons, I worked in a bakery for eight years and worked my way up to a manager. I loved all the people I met but I wanted to be out and about more rather than in a shop so when I saw this job advertised, it felt right.
“Four years later and I haven’t looked back! I can meet up to 80 people per day and I am constantly chatting to them and hearing what they’ve been up to. It’s so rewarding to know that you’ve brightened their day just by dropping off their regular deliveries.
“I was quite shy at school but now you can’t shut me up. Working in this role has definitely made me more of a people person.
“It’s an amazing culture too, I get on really well with my colleagues and actually look forward to getting up in the morning.”
- Salesperson/Delivery driver, Birstall.
At Esland, we offer care, education, and therapeutic support to 6 to 18 year olds from diverse backgrounds who have encountered a range of adverse childhood experiences.
These experiences include complex trauma and foster placement breakdowns, as well as difficulties engaging in their education setting.
