Monmore Confectionery Becomes Member Of Sugro

Buying and marketing group Sugro UK has expanded its membership again with the addition of Monmore Confectionery.

Based at a 50,000 sq ft depot in Bilston, Wolverhampton, Monmore Confectionery was established in 1962 and acquired by the current managing director Skip Mehta and his wife Sant in 2002. The wholesaler offers a range of more than 3,000 lines and services 25,000 customers (trade and online).

The business increased its turnover by 33% in 2023 and also acquired a Smethwick-based confectionery wholesaler, Superb Sweets.

In addition to cash & carry, delivered wholesale and online services, Monmore Confectionery offers contract packing for a variety of customers including large retailers, independent sellers, online retailers and other wholesalers.

“We are delighted to welcome Monmore Confectionery to the Sugro family!” commented Shruti Senapati, business development manager at Sugro.

NAM Implications:
  • While Monmore will undoubtedly benefit by way of footprint extension…
  • …Sugro will add to its buying muscle by extending its membership base.
  • Thereby increasing its appeal to potential new members.
  • All depends on delivering clear benefits to participants…
