initiative and commitment, the awards are held in high regard by
all within the industry.
Oakland International MD, Dean Attwell, stated: "Selected as
finalists in The Grocer Gold Awards is a fantastic achievement for
the whole team. Being acknowledged with The Dairy Trader for
developing this bespoke consolidation scheme, where previously no
other independent provider had succeeded on a sustained basis, is
fantastic news and positive endorsement of the unique consolidation
service offered. The Dairy Trader's high degree of industry
knowledge has been pivotal in unlocking new market
opportunities."
The Dairy Trader's Director, Rob Cross, stated: "To be in the
final for a second major industry award in such a short space of
time, is an excellent indication that we are doing a great job in
the industry. Our growing base of loyal customers is further
encouragement that we have filled a gap in the market with a much
needed service. Good news travels fast in the industry and the fact
that everyone is talking about our scheme when we have only been
trading for just over a year is amazing."
