Three more businesses join Sugro

Sugro has recruited three new members: Prime Cash & Carry, Parker Hampton Food Group and DKS Traders.

Prime Cash & Carry, based in London, has been trading since April 2023, supplying a wide range of food and non-food products to over 500 independent retailers. The operator is building its customer base and services with a newly developed website which will facilitate click-and-collect and delivery options.

Aslan Ekber, director of Prime Cash & Carry, commented: “The reason we joined Sugro as a member was to increase our portfolio, get the best deals and promotions, and engage with new suppliers and products in the market.”

Parker Hampton Food Group is a family-run wholesaler based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Established in 2021, it offers delivery services to independent retailers and symbol retailers throughout Cambridgeshire and North-East and South Yorkshire, with further plans to expand across the UK.

The delivered wholesaler provides an extensive range of impulse products, including confectionery, crisps, snacks, soft drinks as well as grocery and alcohol lines. In 2023, the company acquired 10 convenience stores from Duncan Turner, adding to its customer base.

Nisar Ahmed, director of Parker Hampton Food Group, said: “By joining Sugro we are empowered to directly engage with top-tier suppliers. This partnership marks an important milestone for Parker Hampton Food Group. I believe this will be a great opportunity for us to expand and allow us to provide our customers with the best deals possible. This partnership opens new opportunities for growth and development as we tap into the knowledge and support offered by Sugro.”

DKS Traders, operating in Essex, has been trading since 2015. Its customer base includes local convenience stores, discount stores, online retailers and small cash & carries to which it supplies a wide range of confectionery, soft drinks, grocery lines and household non-food items.

Humza Shaikh, director of DKS Traders, commented: “Leveraging our expertise and Sugro’s market prowess, this collaboration promises unparalleled value for retailers, consumers and wholesalers. We are looking forward to working with the Sugro team to expand our product offerings as we redefine convenience and quality.”
