We are ‘long term’ people. Establishing strong partnerships with our supply chain is an important element of our success. We foster personal relationships, using a mix of national and local suppliers to ensure that we are delivering best value, locally focused services that support our national presence and scope, whilst also supporting local communities and economies.
We use innovative digital systems to manage performance throughout our extensive supply chain, whilst regular expert reviews ensure we continue to work with the best-performing companies. We welcome the innovation that our external partnerships support us to deliver, and actively foster partnership working through tailored payment and contractual terms and arrangements.
