Morrisons orders supplier savings
Morrisons featured for the second time in our list of top food and drink manufacturing articles when the retailer summoned hundreds of suppliers to meetings in June and invited them to drop their prices.
But, a spokesman would not be drawn on the scale of the discounts demanded, reported by suppliers to FoodManufacture.co.uk to be “half a million pound slugs” apiece.
In three briefing sessions it was explained that Morrisons was seeking to source greater volumes from fewer suppliers, to increase efficiency.
