Gourmet Partners - Brand Builders
Innovating the speciality food sector
Build brand awareness and increase sales through the UK’s speciality food retail sector.
Securing a listing with a reputable distributor is challenging, and even after achieving this, there are no guarantees that your products will reach the right retailers.
We address this by carefully selecting non-competing speciality food brands to present to independent retailers across the UK.
■ Acting as your brand ambassador and sales representatives on the road. We efficiently manage your field sales operations, resulting in substantial savings in staffing expenses, and ensuring that your brand receives the dedicated attention it deserves to thrive in a competitive market.
■ Providing comprehensive reporting, sales, sampling, and tasting services.
