Early 1970s: Sherwood Agencies was born in Manchester. Originally the business was a one-man operation with Rupert Mehta buying watches from suppliers in the Far-East and selling them locally in and around Manchester.

1974: Sherwood Agencies is incorporated and becomes Sherwood Agencies Ltd.

Late 1970s and early 1980s: Sherwood purchased two warehouses in order to cope with the larger quantities of stock that were now being handled.

1982: Sherwood had transformed from a watch company to an electronics company with a huge range of branded and unbranded electronics including radios, cassette players & stereo systems.

1984: Sherwood moves to its Sherwood House building in Cheetam Hill Manchester. This move was necessary in order to service Sherwood’s
rapidly expanding customer network and also to house the large quantities of stock that Sherwood carry in order to meet customers’ needs. Sherwood’s product range continues to expand and now includes Umbrellas, Clocks, Audio & Video cassettes, Toys, Photo frames, Textiles and Hardware.

1989: Sherwood’s warehousing portfolio expands to include two 230,000 sq ft mills in nearby Heywood. The majority of Sherwood’s orders are now dispatched from the Heywood Distribution Centre with exports and branded goods being dispatched from Sherwood House.

1998: All Sherwood’s office operations are moved to a custom renovated office block building also named Sherwood House at the Heywood Site. All goods are now stored and dispatched from Heywood. In addition to the renovations to the office block a new custom designed showroom is also opened at the Heywood site. This showroom is designed to service both Sherwood’s customers and staff.

1998 - Present: Sherwood’s Customer portfolio continues to expand and now includes many High Street Stores, Supermarkets, and Department Stores & National Wholesalers.
