Focused and Persistent Attention for Your Brand
Our Journey
Established in 2013, Lloyd-James was the first sales and marketing brokerage dedicated to supporting plant-based food manufacturers to get their products onto grocery store shelves and into customers’ baskets repeatedly.
Over the past seven years, we have learned to recognize and represent “disruptive brands” that lead in their categories, while providing innovation and profitability to our retail partners. We have also learned that the traditional brokerage model is often ineffective, inefficient and broken.
That’s why we offer focused attention for brands through our three core services that can be utilized independently or combined:
- Comprehensive Canadain grocery market insight and guidance
- Focused brand representation.
- Financial support for brands required in today’s competitive market to scale successfully.

Why the Name?
Many people ask us: why the name? Or think that we sell shoes, purses or banking services. In 1946, Lloyd Rogers, a High School Principal that valued hard work and discipline, and his wife Mary Rogers had their first son, James, who became one of 14 children. In 1973, James started a world-leading financial services business, guided by integrity, persistence and innovative marketing.
In 2013, Jordan created Lloyd-James as a nod to his grandfather Lloyd’s strong work ethic, and his dad James’ commitment to integrity and expertise in dealing with his clients. Jordan understands the responsibility of his organization to practice the same principles.
