Helping you build better experiences, from insight to aisle.
From emerging food trends and sustainability expectations to dietary requirements and allergen compliance, we work with you to shape a retail experience that delivers on taste, trust and value.
You’ll benefit from exclusive insight drawn from our extensive SPAR estate and a deep understanding of shopper behaviour across every lifestyle moment – at home, at work, on the move and enjoying leisure time. We use that data to help you design more engaging ranges, from food-to-go to fresh and ambient, own-brand to tertiary.
And it doesn’t stop at strategy. You’ll have access to immersive support through our Executive Development Chef, culinary team and Development Kitchen, where supplier tastings, menu trials and innovation sessions come to life. We’ll also back you up with marketing support, in-store execution, and promotional planning to help drive footfall and sales.
Of course, reliable supply is part of the package too. Our national, multi-temperature logistics network ensures your stores stay stocked and your operations run smoothly - all supported by a dedicated account manager who understands your business.
That’s why forward-thinking retailers like M&S, Ocado, and Amazon choose to partner with A.F. Blakemore.
Your business means everything to you. We understand this, which is why we make the wholesale aspect a seamless, simple process – to enable you to get on with running the business you love, through the easy provision of products that delight your customers.
