Tiger Feet Ltd. (“Tiger Feet”) designs and sells greetings cards and gift wrap, as well as other stationery and celebratory products, such as costumes, gift bags and balloons, to SME businesses. The company is headquartered in Manchester, UK, and operates cash and carry warehouses throughout the UK and Ireland. BGC Wholesale (“BGC”) was founded in 1984. Ardenton’s partnership with BGC began in March 2019 and marked Ardenton’s fourth investment in the UK. At the time of the investment, the company had been operating successfully for over thirty years. This strong track record, along with its solid reputation in the market, made BGC stand out to Ardenton as a strong candidate to start the build-out of its Consumer Products platform.
In March 2024, BGC acquired the trade and assets of Paul White Ltd and Tiger Feet Party Ltd T/A Tiger Feet Direct. BGC then changed its name to Tiger Feet Ltd. in July 2024. In August, BGC Wholesale and Paul White Gateshead merged, rebranding the business as Tiger Feet.
Ardenton has been working closely with the team at Tiger Feet to explore multiple opportunities for continued growth and innovation.
