“ Our overall strategy is built on three key pillars : choice , channel , and service . These are , of course , underpinned by the foundations of value and efficiency . Firstly , choice refers to the fact that we always ensure we have the right range at the right price for our customers . We ’ re constantly investing in new product development and working with suppliers to stay on top of the latest trends .
“ Secondly , the channel pillar reflects our belief that the business can only be truly successful if we grow all of our channels . We then tailor our ranges , service , and pricing to suit that channel ’ s customers . Lastly , providing quality service is at the heart of our business . It is how we have garnered a great reputation for being efficient , reliable , and above all , pleasant to deal with . Ultimately , this has enabled us to develop strong partnerships with global and national FMCG brands . The synergy in all our operations has consequently propelled our growth and we ’ ve made sure to always take our trusted partners with us .”
