Nisa has secured a new contract with leading Channel Islands-based retail company Sandpiper CI, worth around £75 million over five years.
The contract signifies an extension to an existing longstanding partnership, which sees Nisa secure the business as supplier of its grocery lines to Sandpiper CI, while the Channel Islands-based retailer benefits from the supply of branded products and an extensive fresh food offering through Nisa’s distribution service.
Nick Henderson, buying director for Sandpiper CI, said: “Strategic partners are key for future success and this agreement is good news for both companies.
'The relationship between Sandpiper CI and Nisa has been long-established, with the partnership originating around 30 years ago. The decision to renew the contract on a five year deal was influenced by Nisa’s unrivalled distribution service, broad product range and availability of its multi-award winning Heritage range.'
James Roberts, head of independent and specialist at Nisa, added: “This agreement represents another significant business deal for Nisa. We’re delighted to have agreed to extend the contract with Sandpiper and look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with them. We’ve worked closely with the team there for many years and this partnership is mutually beneficial to both companies.”
The announcement follows recent news that Nisa had signed a five-year deal worth £1bn to supply the new My Local estate of 140 stores, as well as extending its partnership with leading UK food export company Ramsden International in a supply deal worth up to £250 million over five years.
Nisa currently supports over 1,200 local retailers and 2,500 stores across the UK. Some operate under the Nisa brand and others under their own names and fascias. Nisa supplies the stock, guidance and retail support that helps them to run and grow their business.
Sandpiper CI is the largest retailer in the Channel Islands, operating stores in Jersey and Guernsey with a portfolio which includes a large number of supermarkets, food halls, convenience/forecourt stores and off licenses.
