2 Capturing the fragrance of an English country garden for over a hundred years... Fikkerts has come a long way since it was first established over 100 years ago. I am very sure that my great great uncle, Everard Carter would be extremely proud of the way the business has grown over this time. Fikkerts is one of the very few English toiletries companies that still manufactures its own products and I have lost count of the times that retailers and customers have told me that this is what makes us really special! There are many reasons why our company and products have stood the test of time. Not least the fact that all our ranges are designed to be both pleasurable to sell, a joy to buy and a delight to receive. From the development of a fragrance right through to the design of the packaging, Fikkerts take every care to make sure that their products not only look amazing but also feel wonderful to use. We source the very best natural ingredients from all over the world, using fresh plants and herbs and ensuring that any raw materials are purchased only from suppliers operating professionally and ethically. Our many ranges appeal to a wide variety of tastes. However, Fikkerts products are instantly recognisable by their exquisite packaging, imaginative design and attention to detail. Our customers are paramount and we share a genuine regard for each and every one of them. Some have been selling our products for many years and others have over recent years found the prospect of selling Fikkerts product just too hard to resist. Should you wish to speak to us about any of our products, we are always delighted to hear from you. We pride ourselves on reacting promptly and efficiently to requirements and are more than happy to go the extra mile whenever we can. Please enjoy our catalogue and most of all enjoy using our products and selling them to your customers! Best Regards, Richard Fikkert
