Working closely with our suppliers helps us to grow our brands, improve the way we do things and deliver on our sustainability objectives. We foster open and honest supplier relationships to achieve these mutually beneficial goals. We believe we all benefit when Premier Foods is a success.
Innovating with suppliers
To help drive that success together with our suppliers, during September 2014 we launched an online Supplier Innovation portal. The portal is for existing and potential suppliers to propose exciting innovations, new ideas and improved ways of working to us. Any supplier can access the portal and we guarantee to respond to all submissions.
Recognising our suppliers
Every year we recognise those suppliers who have made an outstanding contribution to Premier Foods in the previous year with our Supplier Awards.
Awards were presented to those making a significant contribution to Premier’s business strategy and future growth plans.
Commenting on the awards, Procurement and Central Operations Director Mark Hughes said: “Having strong relationships with our suppliers is critical to helping us accelerate our growth. By developing strategic partnerships, we’ll further increase sales, take costs out of the business and ensure we’re growing in a sustainable and responsible way.”
