A range of new summer deals greeted SPAR independents from across the North of England who attended James Hall & Co. Ltd’s latest retailer update.
Held at the company’s Bowland View Distribution Centre in Preston, more than 150 retailers had the opportunity to meet with suppliers and hear trading updates ahead of the summer period.
The retailer event was a condensed spring edition of the annual business update held in the autumn. Updates included new fresh food products and a first look at a new line of home replacement meals that are launching soon – the first under the Clayton Park Bakery Kitchen brand.
There was also a look at a refreshed summer alcohol range, and developments in the non-food area, including summer bedding plants. There was also a focus on new food-to-go products, and an expanded range of bread and morning goods under the Clayton Park Bakery label.
Sales Director at James Hall & Co. Ltd and Chairman of the SPAR Northern Guild Committee, Peter Dodding, said: “Teams from across the business have been working hard over the winter months to progress several developments that we know our SPAR independent retailers will love.
“In light of this, it was great to be able to present these as we head into summer and beyond, supporting our SPAR independents to have a superb summer period of trading.”
