Proudly New Zealand
A nation of food lovers
Kiwis love food! We build our social interactions around it. Where Britain and Ireland have a pub on every corner – we have a café or eatery. We do coffee, we BBQ, we hangi, we roast, we picnic, we fondu; together. As a people – we really enjoy food!
We have an appetite for food innovation. We invented world famous pavlova, hokey pokey ice-cream, marmite and countless other fusion-food delights. We are a nation ready and willing to embrace ‘new’ foods.

Our History
Nourishing relationships has been at the heart of our business for 28 years!
Today, House of Fine Foods is a key player in the FMCG marketing and distribution business.
Since Wayne and Karin Tibbotts rolled out the welcome mat in 1996, they’ve continued to grow a business founded on family values, great service and an intimate knowledge of the ever-changing FMCG sector in New Zealand. Shortly after starting up, they were joined by sons Brett, Scott and Adam Tibbotts who brought another dimension of sales, marketing and product development to the business.
The Tibbotts have ‘kept it in the family’ all this time – only today that family has grown to over 50 staff up and down the country. Sure, not everyone shares DNA – but all share a passion for great food experiences and a PRIDE in doing a fantastic job for retailers; and the brands we represent.
What we do
We provide a comprehensive service with full brand representation across marketing, merchandising, in-store representation and distribution.
House of Fine Foods works closely with New Zealand retailers and global FMCG brands to fill New Zealand homes with authentic, innovative brands from around the world.
Whether supplier or retailer, you’ve invested huge amounts in the development of your brand(s). We’re here to add value to your investment and drive demand for your products.
What we believe
The products in our brandfolio ‘elevate everyday’ moments. Whether it’s a taste experience to savour with friends or family, or a lifestyle product to make life that little bit easier.
The way we see it, your brand is not just a commodity:
It is your pride and joy – and therefore it’s ours too.
