Bringing high-quality fresh foods to local stores is one of the ways our business delivers value to communities.
Local produce means more sustainable communities & customers really appreciate the regional connection.
In Ireland we currently have more than 600 local suppliers on our books. We go out of our way to support suppliers at community level because this can have an extremely positive impact on local economies. In the Britain, our Budgens stores are also supporting initiatives that bring more local products to market. For example, the Taste of Anglia initiative introduces more than 50 locally-sourced products into local stores. A similar idea in Sussex introduced more than a hundred regional product lines into eight local stores.
To get fresh products to consumers even faster we''''ve invested heavily in some of the most advanced fresh food storage and logistics systems in the business.
