‘Stronger together’ was the theme for this year’s annual Budgens and Londis conferences where Phil Smith, managing director of Musgrave Retail Partners GB, pledged a £10 million investment to support retailers in 2009.
Smith said: “We have a clear plan for addressing the challenging times in which we’re all working. We will be supporting our Budgens and Londis retail partners with a comprehensive package, which includes price investment, margin improvement and enhanced over-riding discount schemes, as well as offering further systems and training support.”
The conference programme included a supplier showcase with conference-only deals, interactive workshops, presentations and interviews as well as a gala dinner.
