Advice to new suppliers
Email the Managing Director to ascertain what key products are required
and to arrange a meeting.
The Managing Director brings chefs to producers’ premises for a
demonstration of their products.
Suppliers are requested to bring samples along to pre-arranged meetings,
rather than sending them into Head Office.
Quality is the number one criteria in purchasing decisions, with competitive
pricing a close second.
Other Information
Credit terms for new suppliers are 30 days.
There are LTA’s (Long Term Agreements) with some suppliers.
There is only room for brands in the drinks range.
Although both chilled and frozen storage facilities are available, there is
a preference for chilled products as the Company uses very few frozen
products.
