Formbar Limited

Formbar Limited have been supplying to all retailers for the last 16 years. We have a large range of stock including plastic and wire shopping baskets, shopping trolleys, wheel along trolley baskets and industry specific products such as Warehouse trolleys, Garden centre trolleys and even order picking trolleys. If we do not stock what you are after we will always try to source it elsewhere, if we cannot source it we will fabricate something for you to create your perfect trolley. The last 16 years have seen unprecedented shifts in the world of retail. Highstreets were dying in favour of large out of town retail parks, and very few people were shopping online. Now highstreets are on the up again with customers looking to shop locally and purchase more local produce. Convenience stores, delis, specialist cuisine and other independent retailers are reclaiming the empty shops, and working hard to establish themselves. With the Global Pandemic, we saw retail crash as shops were forced to shut and then reopen again but with strict rules. The pandemic had everyone very quiet for a while but with some community spirit and mutual support, the retail industry started to pick back up and we were there to continue to supply to those who needed it. By providing customers with high quality hand baskets or trolleys that perhaps are a different shape or feel from the standard, retailers establish their brand values from the moment the customers enter the store. Customers are more likely to fill a basket that feels strong and comfortable in their hand, than one that feels like it will not take the weight of their shopping. Also customers are more likely to return if they had a positive experience, and a trolley that is difficult to push or clumsy to manoeuvre around the store sits as a negative in their minds.
