Our partners
Partnerships with local entrepreneurs are at the very heart of our business model.
We know brilliant range and value, strong offers and world class logistics mean nothing without the ‘magic dust’ independent retailers deliver to their businesses - which is, of course, passion, drive and commitment.
Our retail partners understand the needs of their communities, they understand local values and the importance of excellent customer service because, after all, they are serving their friends and neighbours.
Supporting retailers
Because we are an independent family business, we are not subject to the short term demands of shareholders. This means that in today's tough trading environment we are able to invest even more in delivering the right range, price and offer to local communities and ensuring our retail partners retain their competitive edge.
Our support extends far beyond leveraging our scale and buying power to encompass all aspects of the retailer business - from cash flow and margin support, through supply chain to the savings and sustainability gains associated with energy and waste efficiency.
We've also overhauled our retailer training programme and in March 2011 launched our Retail Excellence Academy with the explicit aim of ensuring our brands become associated with not just great service but the best possible service. Become a retailer »
MarketPlace
Meeting the needs of unaffiliated independent retailers & food service professionals remains a key part of our business.
And with Musgrave MarketPlace we have taken cash & carry into the 21st century.
This is about creating a compelling environment with regular promotions, tastings & demonstrations that covers all the core retail & foodservice categories under one roof.
Responding to our customers’ need for value, we invested over €4.9 million in MarketPlace development in 2010 – retail and foodservice customers now rate us as the most competitive wholesaler in Ireland.
In 2011 MarketPlace will continue to be at the forefront of Irish wholesaling, as we further invest in the roll out of the brand to all of our cash and carry outlets.
