Where are we now
• After a number of successful acquisitions the business must now adjust
• The convenience sector remains attractive but the multiples are
changing the game
• In the market more generally there are growing signs of a move
towards a ‘two nation’ society
• The business has as broad a customer base as Tesco
• But the notion of a ‘one size fits all’ offering is becoming increasingly
unsustainable
• Day to day, our customers’ top concerns remain value, availability and
service
12. Research tells us the focus areas
Consumer drivers across Top-Up must improve:
Increased focus for top up:
Co-operative food attributes we must maintain:
13. Our response to these challenges
• Improve the opportunities in customer’s core drivers to build a credible
and sustainable platform for growth
– Value – Price and promotion
– Availability
– Range – Right range for the right location
• Test and trial “Format” led and exploit the opportunities in our locations
• Avoid taking on the mainstream brands at their own game and find our
own position – own brand & promotions are key
• We can make this business “right” for customers & be the best
top up retailer in the UK
14. 14
So in summary what is the plan
• Fix the basics: range, availability, service, value
• Truly understand our customer and develop our competitive positioning whilst
keeping up momentum on own label excellence and ethics
• Settle quickly on our approach with regard to price positioning and format-led
segmentation and begin pushing the business in this direction
• Thereafter, roll out our chosen format-led approach across the estate as
quickly as possible
• And finally, as soon as we are happy with the basics again, start marketing
what really differentiates our customer proposition
