Tortuga’s purpose in the drinks world.
Why Tortuga?
As one of the UK's leading drink distributors, there are many compelling reasons to choose us as your logistics partner of choice.
“Outsourcing your back-office” is a short statement but covers so much. As a drinks distribution company, we can save you both time and money.
Time – because we cover all the back-office functions so you can focus on growing your business. Money – we take away from you all the admin that comes with distributing your products.
Particularly for small independents who can’t cover all the functions, or struggle with the regulatory admin that’s such a feature of the drinks industry. And for those who just want to concentrate on their business.
Outsourcing is not necessarily expensive and you acquire a whole lot of expertise for your business that no single person could bring.
With decades of experience in national drinks distribution, this means you can focus on the good stuff while we look after the logistics.
As a distribution company, we focus on these areas so you don’t have to:
A complete back-office distribution solution
Consolidation of orders to economise delivery costs
Fixed monthly fee
Access to UK customer base: on-trade, off-trade and online retail

We also offer security and oversight. Stock management, and costs per unit, it’s all in an easy-to-understand format, helping you to manage your business and avoid the pitfalls of not fulfilling regulations.
We also help when things go wrong. As warehousing, logistics, and back-office people, we work long hours, from early morning until the evening.
We don’t close our laptops at 5 pm on a Friday. Things can go wrong, and sometimes do, and we’re here to sort it out for you in that unlikely event.
When customers place an order with us, it’s for dozens of other brands. Our team have a working knowledge of those orders; they check stock levels and suggest other brands to try – we provide active stock management.
We know ordering patterns and pricing cycles when portfolios are being reviewed, and tenders coming out. This is all of a huge benefit to a brand.
Get in contact with us today so we can start to give you your time back and enable you to focus on growing your business.
Tortuga is the go-to company for a complete drinks distribution solution. Drinks logistics. Done brilliantly. So you can focus on the good stuff.
Testimonials
“Having Tortuga to rely on for our logistic & distribution needs has been fantastic.
They’ve freed up my time enormously and allowed me to focus on driving sales for our brand by actually being out in the trade, rather than stuck behind a desk!”
“Tortuga is a new and brilliant solution to drinks distribution. Tortuga gives independent brands all the operational and RTM benefits of a traditional distributor but allows the brand to retain control over their sales and marketing functions. In addition, the new portal gives us complete visibility of our sales, stock and expenses. A brilliant business model, managed by some very experienced and well-connected people from the UK drinks industry”
“Tortuga Logistics have been the ideal partner for us to grow our brands. As experts in the field, they are able to keep the essential nuts and bolts behind the scenes oiled and moving far more efficiently than I could have, and the time and resources it would have required to do this myself made the decision to work with them a simple one. Knowing that this was so well taken care of freed me up to concentrate on my customers and growing the business.
I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
