C&D

What C&D does

C&D Ltd (legal entity: C & D Limited) is a UK-based private limited company incorporated in England and Wales, founded in 1985 and operating from a single manufacturing and distribution site at Unit 52, Childerditch Industrial Estate, Brentwood, Essex. The company manufactures Away-From-Home (AFH) disposable hygiene and soft tissue products under its flagship Eclipse brand, with a portfolio spanning non-woven and airlaid dry wipes (in wound, inter-folded and quarter-folded formats), hand and surface wet wipes in multiple tub sizes, toilet rolls, facial tissue, centrefeed rolls and hand towels made from recycled and pure pulp paper. Production is carried out in-house using three tissue converting lines supplemented by standalone converting and packing machines, with environmental credentials anchored by FSC certification on Eclipse tissue parent reels and EU Eco Label accreditation on the recycled tissue line. The company also offers an own-label converting service for customers wishing to promote their own brand on C&D-converted product.

The business model is sales-led B2B, generating revenue through one-time product sales to AFH customers across janitorial, cleaning, hospitality, catering, industrial, automotive and medical sectors, with pricing provided on a quote basis rather than via public tariffs. Distribution is hybrid: the company operates its own delivery vehicles for customers in London and the home counties from its M25-adjacent facility, while trusted third-party hauliers provide nationwide UK coverage with flexible mixed-pallet options for accounts outside the own-fleet catchment. Marketing and lead capture is conducted primarily through the company website (canddltd.co.uk) via a contact form, phone and email. No public listing, external institutional investment, parent company, or acquisition activity is disclosed in the source materials, and the company appears to be privately and likely founder- or family-held.
