Addressing the problem

Product packaging is often tailored to a time of year or to tie in with special events. You might have a special Easter range or a product that celebrates a royal event. But once these events are over, you can be left with surplus stock. We’re experts in making sure this perfectly good stock is bought and enjoyed by people, rather than being thrown away.

Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate is the independent family business behind well-known brands like Yorkshire Tea, Taylors of Harrogate coffee and the famous Bettys Café Tea Rooms. They’re strongly committed to supporting communities and protecting the environment. So when they were left with surplus Christmas coffee intended for Marks and Spencer, they talked to us.

Realising the potential

By using our network of Company Shop superstores we were able to simply and efficiently redistribute their surplus. They got a return on their seasonal stock, our members enjoyed some exceptional coffee and we collectively avoided having to throw away perfectly good products. We now work regularly with Bettys & Taylors, redistributing a range of their products throughout the year.
