Virginia Hayward: We are passionate about hampers…

Virginia Hayward Ltd was established in 1984 by Gin and Geoff Hayward. 29 years on and we remain a family-owned and managed business and, today, our company mission is exactly the same as it was on our first day:

“To source and supply high quality, beautifully presented luxury food and wine hampers

that are reliably delivered and delightfully received in a timely manner and

are supported by impeccable levels of customer service.”
 

Since then we have successfully grown into one of the most highly respected companies in the luxury food and wine hamper industry.

We have a 50-strong team (over 125 staff during the busy Christmas season) operating from two sites that cover over 100,000 square feet of converted offices and modern warehousing in the heart of the beautiful Dorset Countryside.

Our four packing lines give us the ability to pack over 5,000 hampers per day and in 2012 we despatched over 275,000 hampers.

All our hampers featured on the website can be purchased immediately either on-line or over the phone by calling our friendly call centre. No order is too small or too large and we endeavour to accommodate every single hamper enquiry whether it’s a large corporate order, a single hamper with an obscure international delivery address, a bespoke enquiry or you require an ‘own’-brand hamper solution.

In addition to supplying hampers directly to the public for personal gifts and corporate gifts we are also very proud to be the approved hamper supplier for well-known brands such as John Lewis, Waitrose, Selfridges, Laithwaites, Interflora, Booths, Buy A Gift, Red Letter Days, Iflorist, Providore, Funky Pigeon and Aimia.
