About Us

WCF-Phoenix specialises in supplying seed potatoes to the amateur garden market.  Although WCF has serviced this market for over 40 years, the trading title WCF-Phoenix was adopted in 1994 when Phoenix Distributors, based in Bristol, was purchased. With offices and over 60,000ft (squared) of dedicated storage at Almondbank on the outskirts of Perth, central Scotland, WCF-Phoenix is focused on supplying high quality seed potatoes to most of the major outlets in the UK, including independent retail customers, multiple customers, and mail-order customers. Offering the largest range of varieties available to gardeners, with over 100 different varieties of seed potatoes, both organically and conventionally produced, WCF-Phoenix's aim is to supply all customers with the highest quality service.
