OUR HISTORY
JTS Snack Foods was founded in 1992 by Jason Hann. A few years later he was joined by his brothers, Tristan and Simon, hence the name ‘JTS’, symbolic to each brother's initials.
Having gained vast experience from working for their father Ray Hann, at his company AKSnack Foods, the three brothers decided to form their own business. Their initial plan was to sell a wide range of salty snack food products to the licence trade in the South West. Their predominant focus being the distribution of their products to as many pubs, clubs and shops throughout the South West as practically possible.
It was a quick realisation that one van alone would not merely be enough to service the areas that they wanted to. The brothers decided that their objective would be to add one van to the operation each year.
However, this sadly did not happen. After 30 years of hard work and determination, they now have 22 vans operating out of three depots; Cheddar, Newbury and Halesowen. JTS employs 51 members of staff, allowing them to serve customers in Cornwall all the way as far up as the East Midlands.
What you witness now is the culmination of many years of diversification, therefore placing JTS in a better position to offer competitive prices, not only on our snack ranges but on a full range of non-food sundry items that you would expect to find in any licenced outlet.

During their expansion, JTS has been fortunate enough to acquire other smaller businesses, enabling the opportunity to stock other products and increase their range. We are always seeking other opportunities to add broader choice to our one stop shop option.
As a result of this diversification, JTS has had to introduce the expertise necessary to sell a full range of packaging, paper products, cleaning chemicals, bar sundries and tableware which you can find more about on our updated websites.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTORS
We would like to thank the many individuals that we have employed throughout the years, each person has helped us get to this point so far in JTS’ history.
We would also like to say a special thank you to our customers, past a present. Without you nothing of what we have achieved would have been possible.
Our team looks forward to the youth of today managing JTS Snack Foods for the next thirty years and onwards.
