Independent
No stock, no inventory, no hidden margin — the recommendation follows the requirement.
About NorthBridge
Connecting trusted producers with serious international buyers.
NorthBridge Sourcing is an independent sourcing and trade facilitation service. I do not buy or sell products, own inventory, or act as a trading company. My role is to identify the right business opportunities, introduce the right partners, and support both sides throughout the sourcing process until a successful commercial relationship is established.
25+
years of purchasing experience inform how requirements are understood, questions are asked and commercial relationships are handled.
The working principle
Trust is built in the detail.
I am not a producer, an exporter or a trading company, and I do not own the goods I work with. I spent more than twenty-five years buying food for a living, and NorthBridge Sourcing turns that experience into a service: identifying reliable producers for qualified international buyers, and opening serious buyer conversations for producers who deserve them.
There is no stock to move and no margin buried in a price. Compensation is earned only when both parties reach a successful agreement, which is exactly what keeps the advice honest. What I offer is judgement, market context and the patience to follow a single opportunity through properly.
Alongside that facilitation work, NorthBridge holds a brand mandate for Torrié coffee: general sales agent for Germany and Türkiye, representing the Portuguese roast house JMV – José Maria Vieira, S.A. to retail, wholesale and food-service partners in both markets.
Two-way
Engaged by buyers to find supply and by producers to find demand, with equal seriousness.
Confidential
One side’s volumes, prices and identity are never used to work the other.
Personal
You deal with me, from the first enquiry through to the shipment and the one after it.
For producers
Why producers work with me.
Good plants rarely fail on product quality. They fail on reaching the right buyer, at the right moment, with an offer presented the way that buyer expects to read it. That is the part I handle.
- Access to qualified international buyers, not a purchased mailing list
- No upfront costs — nothing is charged to open a conversation
- Confidential commercial discussions, kept between the two parties
- A focus on long-term supply, not a single opportunistic order
- Purchasing expertise from more than 25 years in the food industry
- Honest feedback on where your offer sits against real market levels
How I work
What makes an
introduction worth taking.
Most producers have been approached by intermediaries before, and most of those approaches led nowhere. Three commitments are what make the difference here.
No mass enquiries
Nothing is blasted to a list. If you receive an enquiry from me, it exists because a specific buyer asked for it.
Every introduction is real
Each conversation is tied to a genuine commercial requirement — a named product, a destination and a volume that someone intends to buy.
Built to repeat
The goal of a first shipment is the second one. Long-term cooperation is worth more to both sides than a one-off transaction, and the work is shaped accordingly.
