Napier Brown wins major new sugar supply contracts from Asda and
Booker
The Real Good Food Company plc ("the Group" or "RGFC"), the
diversified food group, owns Napier Brown (Europe's biggest
non-refining sugar distributor) as well as Renshaw and R&W
Scott (bakery ingredients), Garrett Ingredients (dairy ingredients)
and Haydens Bakery (patisserie and desserts).
The RGFC Board is pleased to announce that its sugar trading
subsidiary, Napier Brown, has secured two major new supply
contracts for its branded range of Whitworths sugars from
supermarket retailer Asda and from Booker, the leading food
wholesaler.
These new contracts, which begin later this month, will include
the supply by Napier Brown of a range of more than 60 separate
product lines, including the Whitworths everyday and specialist
ranges, "Whitworths for Baking", as well as a number of new product
lines targeting specific consumer needs.
Whitworths Sugar has become the fastest growing brand in the
sugar category following a re-launch of the brand last year and the
introduction of the "Whitworths for Baking" range in summer 2012.
The new agreements with Asda and Booker will see a doubling in
retail value of Whitworths sugar sales.
Around 80 new jobs will be created at Napier Brown's
headquarters in Normanton, West Yorkshire, following award of these
new contracts.
At the same time, construction is nearing completion of Napier
Brown's "Sugar Hub", a GBP3.5 million development in new sugar
handling facilities at Immingham on Humberside, which is due for
completion by the end of the current year. This will enable the
efficient handling of bulk sugar shipments arriving by sea and
their onward distribution to food manufacturers and other customers
across the north of England.
Pieter Totté, Group Chairman, comments:
"I am delighted by the success of John Tanner and his team at
Napier Brown in securing these important new contracts, which
represents the culmination of 18 months' hard work. We look forward
to building our relationships with both Asda and Booker and believe
that the Whitworths brand still has huge growth potential."
