3 requirements suppliers need to be listed ?
- Make sure you have the relevant accreditations to traverse any of the technical barriers to entry, be it technical, environmental or proposition led.
- Investigate the wholesaler’s operational infrastructure, how are you getting your product to them? How many depots do they have? What are their inbound restrictions?
- Ensure you have carefully considered any sales or marketing support required to ensure the launch is a success from the start.
How should suppliers approach you?
Start by speaking to us. Even if you only have an idea of a product. We can advise on current priorities, what gaps we see in range, and what trends we are looking to reflect in the future. We have the privilege of working with thousands of the UKs top chefs, we can draw upon this network or past experience to shape a good proposition into a kitchen staple. Vegetarian Express is well versed in taking risks on introducing new products to the market, setting a market rather than following it.
