About Science & Nature Wholesale

Welcome to ScienceandNature.co.uk 

Science & Nature is the wholesale trading arm of Curious Minds Science Ltd — one of the UK's most respected specialist science retailers, founded and led by Dr Wendy Hamilton PhD.

For over 20 years, Wendy has curated one of the most carefully considered science and nature product ranges available in the UK. Every product on this site has been personally evaluated against a single standard: is it scientifically accurate, genuinely engaging, and worthy of the institutions we supply? If it doesn't meet that bar, it doesn't make the catalogue.

That standard is why we have been trusted as a supplier by some of the world's most discerning institutions:

  • The Natural History Museum
  • The Science Museum
  • The Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge
  • CERN
  • Cambridge University
  • Bristol University
  • University of St Andrews
  • Rolls-Royce
  • The London Film Museum
  • The Museum of the History of Science
  • The National Trust

Why trade with us?

We are the science and nature specialists. Our range of STEM products spans physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, earth science, and the history of scientific instruments — curated by a scientist, for buyers who care about quality and credibility. From premium gift instruments to sub-£10 impulse lines that drive basket value in independent retail, our catalogue is designed to work across the full range of what a specialist gift or science retailer actually needs.

Our own-brand Curious Minds products are designed and developed in-house, with scientific accuracy and gift presentation at their core. Our third-party range is sourced from manufacturers we know and trust, with margins that work for gift retail.

We offer 30-day payment terms to approved accounts, same-day dispatch from our Helensburgh warehouse, and a trade team that understands what museum gift shops, science centres, heritage properties, schools, and specialist independent retailers actually need.

We look forward to working with you
