harrogate speciality food show

When the going gets tough Better Retailing, a new one-day business-building workshop from the Guild of Fine Food, is to be staged for the first time at Harrogate on June 27, immediately after the Speciality Food Show (see box below). Ahead of the event, MENNA DAVIES asked retailers in the North how they’ve been maintaining and developing trade in a harsh retail climate.

The last year has been a tough one, says Matthew Machin of York’s The Balloon Tree Deli. “We’ve had to work a lot harder for everything, and we’ve been trying lots of new things.”

For Machin, one of the most successful ideas has been a small plant centre at the front of the shop, which is already proving its worth. “The cut flowers and plants really add colour and they are attracting new customers too,” he says. “The lady who runs it is getting quite a name for herself, and almost every other customer of ours is buying flowers and plants too.”

Machin says he’s also about to “go down the Jamie Oliver route” in the hope of enticing more younger customers, introducing 30 lines from the new Jme deli range which will take pride of place at the front of the shop.

“We’ve also worked on improving staff knowledge,” he told FFD. “Many of our staff have been out and about, visiting suppliers. This is something only I used to do, but it’s working really well and I think it’s making a big difference to our team, giving them more confidence in what they are selling and in talking to customers.”

The good news, says Machin, is that there are positive signs of growth this year – April’s turnover was 7% up on last year. “We specialise in asparagus and strawberries and the seasons are the earliest we’ve ever had, which has given us a real boost. The good weather along with the bank holidays has definitely helped us.”

The Westmorland farm shop at Tebay Services in Cumbria is entirely dependent on the volume of motorway traffic and buyer Alex Evans says the travelling public simply has less money to spend.

“We’re concentrating on getting the basics of retailing right – making sure that the products we sell are of the highest standard, are as fresh as possible and are well displayed and well stocked,” she said. The same approach is also being adopted at Westmorland’s farm shop at the Rheged Centre in Penrith.

Like the Balloon Tree Deli, the motorway business is also setting more time aside to give staff at both shops more in-depth training on what they are selling, said Evans, and all product info is now on a staff intranet which can be accessed at all times.

“We continue to introduce new ranges and products to whet the jaded traveller’s appetite and are highlighting all our unique products with shelf edge ticketing personally written by our buyers. We also send out a

Ensuring staff are knowledgeable about products is increasingly important

monthly e-newsletter to our database of customers.”

At Lewis & Cooper in Northallerton the recession remains one of the biggest challenges, says Bettina Bell, general manager & director: “Customers are still watching what they spend and how they spend it.

Because our store is still regarded as one for luxuries, we’re looking at alternative ways to get customers through the door, like hosting various events and running special offers.”

Another issue is that supermarkets and other stores are increasing their product choice and stocking products traditionally sold in the higher-end retailers, she says. “We are combating this by removing slower lines that are sold in multiples, to make way for fresh, exciting new products not readily available elsewhere.

“Holland & Barratt moved into Northallerton last year. Our food supplement tablet sales slowed as a result, so we removed some of these lines and bolstered our heath foods section with new lines instead.”

Farm shop Fodder, based on the Great Yorkshire Showground, has introduced in-store tastings and meet-

the-supplier events each Saturday, says manager Jane Thornber: “After tasting the products most people are tempted to buy.”

She continues: “We’re improving merchandising by grouping complimentary products together. We constantly re-evaluate where products are placed and don’t believe in ‘because its always been there’ as an answer. We also put together a plan for the front stand, which is the first thing you see when you come in, to ensure it regularly changes to whatever is in season.”

PR and marketing are also key to getting more people through the door, says Thornber: “We are using social media like Facebook andTwitter more and more to tempt customers in, as it’s instant and you can see the results that day.”

Better Retailing workshop Alongside this year’s Speciality Food Show, the Guild of Fine Food is running its first one-day Better Retailing workshop, aimed at deli, farm shop and food hall owners.

It follows discussions with Guild members who say they would welcome advice on how to take their established businesses to the next level, as

well as the chance to swap ideas and ‘war stories’ with other business owners. Taking place on Tuesday June 28, immediately after the Harrogate show, Better Retailing builds on the Guild’s established Retail Ready course for start-up businesses. Speakers will include accountantturned-deli-owner Charlie Turnbull and Georgie

Mason, a former fashion industry executive who now owns and runs Gonalston Farm Shop.

Better Retailing costs just £69 plus VAT for Guild members and £89 plus VAT for non-members, including lunch. To book, call Tortie Farrand on 01963 824464 or email tortie.farrand@ finefoodworld.co.uk

NEW TO HARROGATE

Well-travelled gourmet yoghurt brand reaches Britain Gourmet yoghurt brand Little Melton launched in May. New to the UK, it has been established in Australia and New Zealand for a number of years and was introduced to the USA last year.

UK general manager Mark Collins says: “Harrogate will be an important show for us. We’ve just six members of staff at the moment and we don’t have time to travel up and down the country, so it will be a good way of us getting maximum exposure to the trade in a short space of time. It’s about brand exposure, getting our name out there and being seen in front of the right people.”

Little Melton, described as ‘a thick, creamy yoghurt dessert’, is being made in a factory on the outskirts of 34

June 2011 · Vol.12 Issue 5

Norwich using British dairy products. It already has listings at Harrods and Partridges and should be in five farm stores in Norwich soon.

“The deli and gourmet market has been a massive focus for us in New Zealand and will be in the UK too,” says Collins.

He has great ambitions for the brand in the UK: “Obviously we’re only just entering the market, but we are currently recruiting more staff and big plans in place. In six to eight months we should easily have a team of 15-18 and we hope to reach a £2m turnover within 18 months.” Distribution in the UK will be predominantly through The Cheese Seller. www.littlemeltonyogurt.co.uk

NEW TO HARROGATE

Chocs to cherish Cherish Chocolates was launched in February this year

by Soumya and Dinesh Ramanan, and will be exhibiting for the first time at Harrogate.

The launch of Cherish as a business follows six years of experimenting with flavours and mastering the art of making fresh hand-made chocolates. Three years ago, the partners started attending farmers’ markets, fairs and school events around Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire.

Cherish currently has over 25 flavours and at least 10 new ones are in the pipeline. “What's unique about our chocolates is the fact that they are free from gluten, nuts and hydrogenated fat, with nothing synthetic or

artificial in them," says Soumya Ramanan, who is the company’s chocolatier as well as its co-founder.

“We’re really hoping that Harrogate will be a gateway to take us to a much larger audience,” she says. “This will be a good opportunity to set up new contracts and relationships.”

Cherish Chocolates are freshly made to order and come in 150g, 250g, 375g and 500g boxes, which can be filled with the buyer’s choice of either single or assorted flavours. Prices ranging from £9.50 for a 150g pack (around 13 pieces) to £48.50 for a 500g box (approximately 48 pieces). www.cherishchocolates.co.uk
