Benefits
Working with a well-established company
Boardmans Accessories is a long-established UK wholesale business with over 100 years of trading history. We are a stable, employee owned company supplying men’s and ladies’ fashion accessories to retailers nationwide. With an experienced in-house wholesale team and long-standing customer relationships, we offer agents the security of working with a proven, financially stable supplier with consistent seasonal demand.
Successful track record with agents or sales people
We have a strong track record of working with sales agents and wholesale sales professionals to grow long-term customer accounts. Our products generate repeat seasonal orders across SS and AW, creating ongoing commission opportunities rather than one-off sales. Agents benefit from a trusted brand name, established pricing structures, and customers who reorder year after year.
Innovative product / service
Boardmans Accessories offers a broad, trend-led range of men’s and ladies’ fashion accessories including bags, scarves, hats, gloves, and gifting goods. Our strength lies in combining fashion-led design with commercial, high-turn products that retailers can sell season after season. With strong heritage, reliable supply, and consistent quality, we are a dependable alternative to fast-changing or short-lived brands.
Excellent commission terms
We offer competitive commission rates on well-priced, high-volume products with strong reorder potential. Our seasonal collections and replenishment lines provide agents with regular earning opportunities throughout the year, making this a realistic and sustainable addition to an existing portfolio.
Sales and marketing support
