Redditch-based Oakland Distribution, a subsidiary of Oakland
International, has recently celebrated its first year of servicing
Landmark Wholesale with a range of Members benefitting from the
firm's first year of successful trading.
Strategic Development Manager, Pete Vaughan, stated: "The launch
of Oakland Distribution offers customers access to an exciting
range of chilled and ambient products with the focus on providing
retail-standard distribution services to wholesale and foodservice
customers. Working closely with Landmark Central Office we have
created a distribution service with improved flexibility resulting
in a greater range of products and delivery options being available
to their Members".
In their first twelve-months, Landmark Wholesale have added new
products to the range, some of which have been cross-sourced from
Oakland International suppliers thus benefitting Landmark's 32
Members across the UK, including Northern Ireland, Wales and
Scotland and the islands of Orkney, Shetland, Jersey.
Landmark Trading Controller, Gordon Walker, stated: "We are
pleased with the development of our partnership with Oakland. The
first 12 months have shown we have considerable potential to
develop the scheme further and look forward to working with the
team at Oakland to grow the business for Oakland and our
Members."
Sales for the Landmark Wholesale scheme are set to be in the
region of £6m over the coming year, with Oakland looking to
increase its first year market share and build on its already
successful Oakland Distribution model.
