N Irish suppliers lose out following influx of multiples
Article Abstract:
Northern Irish food suppliers have lost trade since the arrival in the market of the large UK supermarket chains. In a survey by buyers from local retailers, it was found that 41 out of the 66 questioned has suffered a downturn in trade since 1995, when multiples started trading. It was noted that many Northern Irish suppliers were not as large as the multiples were used to in other areas of the UK, and could not compete with their existing supply contacts. However, one multiple, Sainsbury, has pointed to the success of the 17 Northern Irish suppliers on its supplier development programme.
