Green Acres BV

Green Acres BV is an independent, family-owned wholesale distributor of Irish and British food and drink products, headquartered in the Netherlands. Founded in 1996 by Nick Mathews — who opened Amsterdam’s first English Breakfast Bar a decade earlier — the company grew from a passion for authentic British and Irish cuisine into the leading niche wholesale specialist for this category in the Netherlands. Green Acres supplies an extensive range of authentic products including ambient grocery, beverages, chilled and frozen foods, alcoholic drinks and non-food items from Ireland and the United Kingdom, serving restaurants, bars, hotels, specialty stores and expat-focused retailers. The company is led by Nick’s son Ben Mathews and family, maintaining the founder’s commitment to quality sourcing, personal service and reliable supply chain management. Green Acres serves over 2,500 clients and is particularly valued for its willingness to source specific products unavailable in the Dutch market and its highly personalised customer relationships. The company prides itself on being more accessible and responsive than large wholesale chains and is entirely independent of any corporate distribution group.
