A List Brands and Interstoq join Sugro
Sugro UK has two new members: A List Brands and Interstoq.
Manchester-based A List Brands has a wide customer base of independent clearance and discount stores, and smaller wholesalers and cash & carries. It is established in toiletries and pet food but has joined Sugro UK to lean on their expertise within the grocery and impulse categories.
Aqib Maqbool of A List Brands commented: “We are delighted to join buying group Sugro UK, and we aim to take advantage of the full Sugro membership experience. With their help, we can offer the best in pricing and promotions, and look to offer a diverse range of products to our customers. This will allow us to increase our business.
“We have had a great experience since joining Sugro membership recently: they are a fantastic team that provide support when required at any stage.”
Gordon McCarty of Interstoq: ‘We anticipate a long-standing relationship with Sugro.’
Interstoq, which has depots in Oldham and Essex, provides a wide range of confectionery, crisps and snacks, soft drinks and alcohol to its wholesale and retail customers.
Gordon McCarty of Interstoq said: “Having spoken with three buying groups, we found Sugro UK to be the most responsive, professional and proactive; the head office team really took the time to learn about our business, and we were looking for the longevity that Sugro UK promised.
“As we work towards a more strategic approach to our customer base, we feel Sugro UK are best placed in terms of offering that extra level of support, and we anticipate a long-standing relationship with them.”
