Improving value and developing the customer shopping experience were at the heart of the mission to come out of James Hall & Co. Ltd’s Annual Supplier Partners Review, held earlier this month.
Taking place at the company’s Spar Distribution Centre at Bowland View in Preston across two days, more than 200 supplier partners joined together for a comprehensive review of the previous year and a look ahead to 2027 and beyond.
Action-packed
Better collaboration, improved promotions and simpler trading terms headed an action-packed agenda, followed by company supply chain developments and investments and updates to fresh foods.
There was also a focus on range reviews, category development, marketing opportunities and customer engagement.
Sampling of Clayton Park, Fazilas and Graham Eyes Butchers products was also available during a visit to Spar Lathom, one of James Hall & Co. Ltd’s leading forecourt stores which reopened in November last year following a £3m knockdown rebuild.
Multiple connections
Brandon Howard, commercial director at James Hall & Co. Ltd, said: “Our annual review offered an opportunity to connect multiple departments from the business with our supplier network, with the ambition of delivering a range of positive wholesale and retail outcomes.
“The first steps of exciting future developments were taken.”
“Honest discussions were held, collaborative ideas were shared and the first steps of exciting future developments were taken. I think it’s been hugely valuable, and I’d like to extend my thanks to our supplier partners for taking the time to travel, for their engagement, and their continued support of James Hall & Co. Ltd.”
