About us:

A.F. Blakemore \& Son Ltd is one of the largest privately owned companies in the UK. Our forward\-thinking family\-owned business began life in 1917 as a counter\-service grocery store and has grown from these humble beginnings into a company that now owns 260 SPAR convenience stores and employs more than 7,000 people, with a turnover of £1\.3 billion.

As one of the largest convenience retailers in the UK, we are always looking for innovative ways to create a point of difference. Food and drink have always been our lifeblood, and today our business has multiple divisions specialising in SPAR retail, food service and wholesale distribution.

With more than 2,600 stores and a turnover in excess of £3 billion, SPAR is also the UK’s leading convenience store group.
