Pedigree Wholesale is reporting its “best-ever” stock availability as the distributor approaches the busy pre-Christmas trading period.
The stock position follows a period of focused collaboration between its teams and supplier partners, the wholesaler says. The business has made availability and dependable delivery a key focus.
Chief executive Steve Brown said: “Our customers rely on us to have the products they need, when they need them. That sounds simple, but delivering it consistently takes an enormous amount of work behind the scenes.
“Over recent months, our teams have worked closely with suppliers and colleagues across wider business to strengthen our availability. I’m delighted that this hard work has resulted in us achieving our target of 95% availability. This is the strongest in stock position we have been in for a number of years.”
He continued: “We are also delivering against key service indicators we set ourselves across returns, credits, order accuracy and OTIF (on time in full). There’s been a tremendous amount of hard work, tenacity and collaboration behind this, both from our own teams and our supplier partners, especially when supply chains across the world remain challenging and I want to recognise the part they’ve played.
“We all have a busy period ahead and our priority is clear: to continue being a wholesaler our customers can depend on.”
