Employee Ownership

As an Employee Owned business we invest more money back to provide improved prices and promotions plus we can recruit and keep the best people – providing a better service.

Advantages for retailers:

We don’t have shareholders so we invest more back to deliver better prices and promotions for our retailers

We are an independently owned business servicing the needs of independent retailers – so have detailed understanding of their needs and can deliver against them

Every employee has shared ownership of the business, improving engagement and ensuring better service

We attract and keep the best people – improving the quality of our offering across value, price, range, availability and service

Advantages for our team:

Our employees have a secure working environment in a company that empowers them to make a difference and grow the business through delivering exceptional service

Our working environment is inclusive and every employee has a say through our Employee Voice scheme – enabling us to consistently improve the way we operate based on feedback from people at every level of the business, delivering results for retailers and employees alike

We promote from within where possible and reward hard work, commitment and a willingness to go the extra mile. So we retain knowledge and understanding and build strong, long lasting relationships internally and externally with retailers
