Country Range Group turnover hits £460 million

Country Range Group’s 12 wholesale members had total turnover of £460 million in 2018, with organic like-for-like sales growth of £30 million. Purchasing through the group increased by 12%.

CRG managing director Coral Rose said: “2018 was another strong year, as our members once again outperformed the market, delivering impressive year-on-year sales growth of just under 10%.

“With record amounts spent on infrastructure, personnel and resources in 2017, our members and their customers are definitely seeing the returns and benefits, which bodes well for the future.

“While new business and sales growth are obviously vital for our individual members, from a group perspective our strategic goal is to optimise the level of purchasing. Our 12% increase in purchasing power is a huge achievement.”

Rose also referrred to the members’ “unassailable range of branded and own-brand products when it comes to price, quality and trends”.
