Who’s involved?

Foodstuffs North Island, in partnership with the Food Innovation Network, would love you to join us at our Emerging Supplier Forum.

At the Forum we’ll provide helpful insights into what’s involved in becoming a supplier partner and getting your products into our Foodstuffs stores.

Hosting the Forum will be Foodstuffs’ Emerging Supplier Manager, Rachel Prenty who will share her experiences and expertise into what goes into supplying our stores. You’ll also be able to connect with other small businesses from the area to build a network to support you on your own retail grocery journey.

 

What’s being covered?

  • Who we are and how we work
  • What we look for in a product and supplier partner
  • What to think about when considering supplying retail
  • Our latest customer insights and trends
