  • Detailed review of the supply chain and assessed their Contingency plans for in-house manufacturing

  • Assessed potential supplier synergies between the Restaurant and Retail side of their business

  • Significant savings and cashflow improvements made, delivering over 10% on total spend that was tendered

  • Prices fixed for a minimum of 18 months ahead of expected inflationary pressures

  • Cost prices on key commodity items fixed to market indexes to ensure cost advantages were locked in and sustained.
