The new depot will be the wholesaler’s 14th branch and will extend its geographic reach across the south-west region.

Dhamecha, the largest member of Unitas, began trading in 1976 with a single depot in London. It expanded across the capital before moving into the Midlands from 2015 onwards. Most recently, it opened a Liverpool depot in 2024.

Pradip Dhamecha, CEO of Dhamecha Group, said: “We are incredibly proud to be opening our 14th depot, especially as 2026 marks 50 years since we opened our very first depot in London. This milestone reflects not only the hard work of our team but also the strength of our partnerships with suppliers and, most importantly, the continued loyalty of our customers.

“Bristol is a key location for our continued growth, and we are excited about the opportunities this new depot will create. It will reinforce our nationwide footprint while providing a strong platform to collaborate with suppliers on growth initiatives, drive innovation in range and pricing, and deliver even greater value to the independent retailers we are proud to serve.”

 Unitas CEO John Kinney added: “Dhamecha has earned its position as a leading force in UK wholesale by delivering real value to independent retailers for 50 years. Its continued expansion is a powerful signal of confidence in the sector. At a time when the trading environment is challenging, it is encouraging to see businesses investing for future growth.

“This announcement demonstrates what can be achieved through a clear focus on customers and a consistent commitment to value and service.”
