Retailer pressure will intensify
UK - "I have been talking privately to the major high street players and they left me in no doubt that their sights are set higher than ever as they pursue strategies that will give them even greater power and influence across the wider marketplace," reports Clive Beddall."A consequence of that process will see their buyers facing even more boardroom pressure to negotiate the keenest possible prices from suppliers large and small," he says.
"Those pundits who believe that the leader of the pack, Tesco, has effectively '“matured in the UK' and is now turning elsewhere around the globe for growth are, quite simply, off their trolleys."
