About Gem Imports
Gem Imports is a leading UK wholesale supplier and importer established in 2010, headquartered in Hoyland, Barnsley. The company specialises in design-led value products across household, seasonal, and everyday categories, offering over 5,000 products at competitive wholesale prices through major UK retailers. The company is headed by Chris Edwards Junior, who brings over 20 years of retail expertise as part of the founding family behind Poundworld Retail Ltd, where he served as trading director for 17 years. This wealth of experience in high street and discount retail has shaped Gem Imports' understanding of consumer needs and value pricing. Gem Imports has developed a portfolio of own-brand labels including Cooke & Miller (kitchenware and household items), 123 Baby, Hoot, and Vivid. Each brand is designed to sit alongside major retail brands, offering comparable quality with rigorous manufacturing standards and safety certifications while maintaining affordable price points. Operating from a purpose-built 175,000 sq ft distribution centre with a dedicated showroom in South Yorkshire, Gem Imports sources products globally with particular expertise in far-east procurement. Their range spans solar garden lights, vacuum storage bags, BBQ accessories, seasonal decorations, and home organisation solutions, with new products arriving weekly to capture the latest trends and must-have household essentials.
