Our Companies
From specialist pet care and digital retail to British drinks, home, confectionery, chocolate and food supply, Paramount Retail Group brings together distinct businesses with strong identities and the space to build for the long term.
A design & innovation house for pet, wild bird and equine.
Pet Brands combines more than five decades of category knowledge with product design, licensing, own-brand development and international distribution. Its portfolio reaches retailers in 58 countries and spans more than 1,000 products across food, treats, essentials, accessories, enrichment and lifestyle.

Explore PetsentialsBig brands, translated properly for pet.
Pet Brands' licensing model is built around more than putting a familiar logo on a product. Each partnership is translated into categories where the brand's own design language, trust or performance credentials make sense for pets and their owners.
Heritage print meets modern pet lifestyle.
Signature British patterns are carried through beds, feeding, walking, apparel and accessories — turning practical pet products into coordinated lifestyle pieces with recognisable design.
Performance material, reimagined for play.
Max Fusion dog toys use Nike Grind recycled material alongside natural rubber, combining performance cues, sustainability and high-impact retail storytelling in a specialist pet format.
The design-and-innovation model is moving beyond pet.
Equine is an increasingly important part of the Pet Brands proposition. The same thinking used across pet — clear function, welfare, enrichment, strong design and licensing that adds genuine value — is being applied to products for horses and the people who care for them.
That includes lifestyle-led equestrian design such as Cath Kidston rugs and accessories, alongside a wider focus on stable enrichment, turnout, welfare and products that fit naturally into modern yard life.
Not every great range carries a Pet Brands name.
Alongside its own brands and licences, Pet Brands develops bespoke products and ranges for national retailers, existing pet businesses and major consumer brands looking to enter the category. The team can support the journey from concept and category strategy through design, sourcing, packaging, supply chain and launch.
Fetch turns specialist pet retail into three distinct customer experiences.
Fetch Retail is the business behind Pet-Supermarket, MedicAnimal and Petwell. The three destinations share ecommerce, fulfilment and specialist pet capability, but each has a different reason for customers to choose it — from broad everyday essentials, to health-led retail, to value and convenience.
One specialist platform. Three customer propositions.
Fetch brings together ecommerce trading, digital marketing, customer experience, catalogue and merchandising, subscriptions and pet profiles, specialist pet-health retail and fulfilment. That shared capability gives each consumer brand room to retain its own identity while benefiting from the scale of a single online pet business.
Pet-Supermarket
A broad specialist destination across food, healthcare, accessories, small animals, birds and equestrian, with account tools designed around the routines of real pet ownership rather than a one-off online shop.
MedicAnimal
MedicAnimal combines everyday food and care with a stronger healthcare proposition, including veterinary medicines, pet profiles, repeat ordering and a customer-care team built around specialist pet support.
Petwell
Built by pet owners for pet owners, Petwell focuses on making quality food, health products and everyday essentials accessible across dogs, cats, horses, small animals and birds.
Timeless style for home, table and garden.
Founded in 2005, Dibor is a family-run British home and garden business built around thoughtfully curated pieces that balance character, craftsmanship and everyday practicality. Its aesthetic draws on classic British charm, relaxed country living and vintage-inspired detail rather than disposable trend cycles.
From tableware, glassware and home accessories to furniture, planters, wildlife products and outdoor living, Dibor treats the garden as an extension of the home. The business began in Harrogate and now operates from its South Yorkshire headquarters and showroom.
British sweet-making heritage since 1932.
For more than nine decades, Bristows of Devon has made confectionery in the ancient market town of Crediton. The range brings together traditional favourites and newer flavour ideas across fudge, toffee, bonbons, boiled sweets and value-led family ranges.
Heritage products such as clotted cream fudge and traditional bonbons sit alongside playful lines including Mocktail Bonbons — showing how a long-established British manufacturer can protect the recipes people remember while continuing to create reasons for a new generation to discover the brand.
Extraordinary chocolate with a conscience.
Montezuma's started in 2000 with an ambition to bring more imagination to a British chocolate market that its founders felt had become predictable. More than two decades later, the business still makes chocolate at its West Sussex factory by the sea.
Its identity is built around bold flavours, distinctive design and responsible production. The factory is free from palm oil and unnecessary additives, while cocoa and other ingredients are sourced to recognised ethical standards. From bars and truffles to vegan recipes and the uncompromising 100% cocoa Absolute Black range, Montezuma's has built a chocolate voice that is unmistakably its own.
British drinks brands with stories worth protecting.
Great British Drinks Company brings together celebrated regional breweries, modern craft names and selected drinks partnerships under a long-term stewardship model. The aim is simple: protect what makes distinctive brands special, invest in their future and let each retain the identity, heritage and community that made it matter in the first place.
Heritage at the heart of the portfolio.
Three breweries sit at the centre of the story: Saltaire in Shipley, Black Sheep in Masham and Purity in the Warwickshire countryside. Each has a distinct history, a working brewery people can visit and a brand identity shaped by its home.
Twenty years of Yorkshire brewing heritage.
Saltaire's story began in 2003 when founder Tony Gartland met industrial chemist Derek Todd on a Brewlab course. A bespoke 20-barrel brewery followed in 2005, with early favourites including Saltaire Blonde and Cascade Pale. Growth brought a 40-barrel brewhouse in 2017 and an in-house packaging facility. In 2026, Saltaire celebrates 20 years of selling beer — still rooted at County Works in Shipley while reaching drinkers across the UK.

Born a Black Sheep. Brewed in Masham.
Paul Theakston struck out on his own to keep five generations of brewing in Masham, building a new brewery in the town's former maltings with salvaged brewing equipment. Black Sheep's first Best Bitter was brewed on 14 September 1992, and the original brewhouse remains part of the brewery today. From traditional Yorkshire cask to modern pale ales, stouts and IPAs, the brewery blends heritage with innovation and welcomes visitors for tours, food and beer at the source.

Brewing with a conscience in Warwickshire.
Purity has built its identity around great beer, community and a lighter environmental footprint since 2005. Based at Upper Spernall Farm, the brewery's Pure Eco approach includes a natural wetland system for recycling brewery wastewater, circular use of brewing by-products and highly efficient water heating. Beers including Pure UBU, Pure Gold, Mad Goose and Bunny Hop are brewed in the Warwickshire countryside, where visitors can also discover the brewery through tours and its on-site shop.

North Brewing, Magic Rock and Maison SASSY each bring a very different voice to the wider portfolio — from Leeds and Huddersfield craft beer to cider rooted in generations of Norman tradition.
North Brewing
Leeds-born and unmistakably modern, North helped shape the city's contemporary beer scene. The brand is brewed at Springwell on Buslingthorpe Lane, with a range spanning crisp, hazy and hop-forward beer and familiar names including Transmission, Sputnik and Piñata.

Magic Rock Brewing
Founded in Huddersfield in 2011, Magic Rock combines Yorkshire brewing tradition with inspiration from the US craft scene. Its bold identity and flavour-led beers — including High Wire, Cannonball and Dark Arts — helped make it one of the defining names of modern British craft.
Visit Magic Rock Brewing
Maison SASSY
Born at Château de Sassy in Normandy, SASSY gives generations of cider and Calvados tradition a contemporary edge. Co-founders Xavier and Pierre-Emmanuel grew up around Norman cider culture, building a range that respects local savoir-faire while bringing a fresher, more modern expression to an international audience.
Visit Maison SASSYBrands with their own communities and character.
From London hospitality and South London brewing heritage to a collaboration with one of metal's most recognisable names, these brands widen the story well beyond a traditional brewery portfolio.
Wolfpack
Born from rugby and built around bringing people together, Wolfpack began in 2016 when former Saracens internationals Alistair Hargreaves and Chris Wyles started serving lager from a battered double-decker bus. Today its London hospitality footprint includes Queens Park, West Hampstead and Fulham.

Megadeth Beer
Rattlehead brings Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine's unmistakable identity together with Black Sheep's Yorkshire brewing character. The collaboration gives fans a dedicated beer range built around the same independent, rebellious spirit shared by the band and brewery.

Brick Brewery
Brick began in 2013 with Ian Stewart brewing in a Peckham garden shed and grew into a South London craft name rooted in the railway arches around Peckham Rye. Its London brewing operation later closed as production moved north, but the Peckham story remains central to the brand's identity.
Visit Brick Brewery
Brew By Numbers
Brew By Numbers emerged from London's Bermondsey brewing scene, building its identity around a simple numbered system: beer style first, recipe second. The original London brewing sites later closed, with the brand continuing within the wider portfolio and production network.

The portfolio reaches customers through distinctive venues as well as breweries and brands. In York, one long-standing pub has just added another award to its reputation for cider and cask beer.
An award-winning pub in the heart of York.
On High Petergate with views towards York Minster, the Three-Legged Mare is a Black Sheep-owned pub with a strong reputation for cask beer, real cider and perry. York CAMRA named it Cider Pub of the Year for 2026, adding to previous wins in 2019 and 2024. The pub has been part of the Black Sheep estate since 2018 and remains a distinctive part of the group's Yorkshire hospitality story.

Great beer. Real honest food. Birmingham hospitality since 2014.
Purecraft Bar & Kitchen brings Purity Brewing Co. into the heart of Birmingham. Opened in 2014, the Waterloo Street venue pairs award-winning beer with quality, seasonal food and a broad rotating draught range — creating a direct hospitality expression of the drinks portfolio rather than simply another beer brand.

A national food business built from specialist butchery.
Established in 1991, DB Foods has grown from its Dorset roots into a major supplier of meat, poultry, game, deli and specialist food products. It serves independent butchers, retail, hospitality and food production with a combination of procurement expertise, skilled butchery, product development and temperature-controlled distribution.
The business is underpinned by long-term producer and customer relationships, with quality, consistency and responsible sourcing at the centre. Its operating footprint connects production in Poole with distribution in Banbury and a further depot in Cornwall, supporting customers across the UK.
