Company details

  1. Food products supplier

Information provided by various external sources

HS French Flint is a very old business that has continued reinventing itself for nearly two centuries. The oldest part was formed to import the newly invented FLINT GLASS from France in 1824. Today we still import glass containers from France and many other European countries as well as the USA and the Far East, but over 60% of our glass bottles and jars are made in the U.K. We specialise in supplying to the Food and Beverage industry but also stock a wide range of Cosmetic, Toiletry and Pharmaceutical and Industrial containers in both glass and plastic, along with all the associated caps, corks, stoppers and closures. HS French Flint have a range of bottles and jars manufactured to our own design, but are also stockists for all the major European glass factories. We have THOUSANDS of different designs and capacities in stock and specialise in being able to offer single cases as well as multiple pallets of most containers from our own warehouses. We are proud of our friendly and knowledgeable Sales team, our flexible warehouse staff who work incredibly hard to achieve nearly impossible same-day or next day despatches, and our new London showroom is outside the congestion charge zone and very well served by public transport being close to Bermondsey station, bus and river bus stops. We have a selection of miniature bottles and jars that find great demand for Wedding Favours and various spice jars and stacking bottles that feature grinders and sprinkler necks. Our jars and bottles have featured in many films and adverts including Harry Potter and Oil of Olay.

H S French Flint consistently delivers an excellent level of service, with a strong focus on clear communication and customer support. The team (especially Lucy) is proactive in suggesting new products and offering samples, which makes it easy to explore suitable options and find the right fit for our needs.

They also demonstrate a real commitment to value by researching items we already stock and providing competitively priced alternatives from their own range. This approach shows a clear understanding of their customers’ priorities and a willingness to go the extra mile.

Another standout aspect is their transparency around delivery times. If there are any delays due to incoming stock, they communicate this promptly, allowing us to plan ahead and avoid disruption.

Overall, H S French Flint is a reliable and customer-focused business that provides a professional, responsive, and solution-driven service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service & Beautiful Products – Highly Recommend!

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with HS French Flint. From start to finish, the service has been professional, responsive and genuinely helpful. Communication was clear and efficient, and every detail was handled with care.

The quality of the products is excellent – you can immediately see the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Everything arrived well packed and exactly as expected. It’s rare to find a supplier who combines high-quality materials with such reliable service.

What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and the whole process felt smooth and well organized.

We will definitely continue working with HS French Flint and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality products backed by great customer service.

Fantastic Service

Have used this company several times now and they are always great to deal with. The products are priced competitively and the 1 time I had a small issue with an order (was a bit slower than normal to arrive) Lucy in the office looked into it for me and sorted it all out quickly and professionally. More importantly than that was how she kept me informed every step of the way as she was sorting it out. Wouldn’t hesitate to use this company.

I found both David in customer services…

I found both David in customer services and Paul Harrison managing Director both rude beyond believe. I ordered an urgent delivery on Thursday at 12pm and it arrived on Monday at 3pm. They tried to tell me that’s because they don’t work Saturday, however the email I reconfirmed that it had left their warehouse on Friday. DX who delivered it, delivered it to the wrong address, Contacted Paul to tell them that I had not received it and his reply was “ According to DX they HAVE delivered it to you!” Along with photos of the wrong house door.
This made me feel like he was accusing me of lying and when I told him this he called me a strange woman.
I asked for the £5.30 which I paid extra for the 1-2 day delivery (which an email from DX confirmed was collect Friday and deliver Saturday), as his company failed to carry out a paid service.
Apparently because no one else had ever complained that order by 10am to ensure delivery was not on the website (only in the fine print), I was in the wrong to raise the point that as a customer, I was not aware of that due to it not being visible on the website
