| P&G has always believed that an active convenience channel is an essential element of the UK’s dynamic retail environment. In 2009, we have not only seen this become ever more important but we have also seen the channel rise to meet these renewed demands and deliver an extremely strong proposition to shoppers. P&G helps retailers through its ShelfHelp merchandising programme by offering advice on ranging, merchandising and in-store display, as well as ensuring that staff are well trained, knowledgeable and friendly. Effectively merchandised stores are key to the wider industry’s ongoing success, and particularly within the convenience channel. We wish all the entrants the very best of luck and we look forward to celebrating their successes at the Retail Industry Awards in 2009. Paul Lettice, Trade Communications ManagerSeafood |
