Would you like your company to supply Quarks in Reading? or Guildford? or both?
We're always on the look out for new suppliers of interesting or quirky products. We were one of the very first stockists of 'innocent' smoothies years and years ago (back when they had a shelf life of two days!) and were, for a time, the only UK stockists of a new type of energy drink in the mid nineties called 'flying horse' which developed into a big market now dominated by Red Bull. We've dealt with small local companies and large entities, and we're happy with either if the product is what we're looking for.
Here's the sort of thing we're looking for, but we're open to any ideas along these lines - we're open minded and love trying new ideas. Please also read the detail below.
also, drinks, snacks, frozen pastries, cakes, any other dry goods.
Conditions: To make life easier and to ensure we're a good customer, we're looking to fulfill the following criteria:
Items must be individually packaged with an expiry date on that package
Items must conform to all food related legislation requirements concerning labeling etc
Items should not be price marked where possible
Items should have a good margin at normal RRP
Items must have a long shelf life - at least two weeks minimum
Particular attention will be given to items that are quirky, little known, local or interesting. Marketing support or POS material is preferred in these cases
An account is required - we do not operate a cash on delivery system at branch level. It doesn't have to be a credit account necessarily, although this is preferred, but payment must come from head office and NOT the branch.
If you think you have something of interest for us, then please contact Jason Deane here, with a summary of your products, pictures and, most importantly, sample prices with RRP examples. Please don't forget to include your contact details!
If you're a customer who's like to make a suggestion on what we should
stock, you can do so using our Facebook discussion boards here.
