Two sizes fits all...
In sales and distribution terms, Worldwide Brands
offers flexibility. We work either as a distributor by taking title;
warehousing, distributing and invoicing the customer, or as a sales agent on
commission, with the manufacturer delivering and invoicing the customer.
This flexibility is a hallmark of the business:
"What is important in all our dealings with the manufacturer is what is right
for the brand. Sometimes it is better for us to handle matters as a
distributor, sometimes as an agent." Martin Wathes, Managing Director,
Worldwide Brands Ltd.
The 'two sizes fits all' approach also applies to
the two divisions of Worldwide Brands Ltd. The main division- Worldwide Brands-
handles brands for mainstream retail, i.e. Grocery Supermarket Chains. Gourmet
World- set up to serve the quality end of the independent sector (see Gourmet
World page).
