Held at the Novotel Twin Waters Resort on the Sunshine Coast in the premium overwater function venue Lily’s on the Lagoon, the 2018 SPAR Australia Supplier Awards Gala Dinner was attended by over 100 Spar Supplier Partners where they celebrated the outstanding successes and achievements of the 2017 year with SPAR Australia.
SPAR Australia congratulate all the winners on the night. The strong support from the supplier partners has been a key factor in SPAR’s outstanding sales performance. YTD since the 1st July SPAR’s current performance of 7.1% over last year is outperforming the market. More importantly, within the independent sector SPAR’s performance is a standout. Lou Jardin, SPARs Managing Director adds “I’m very proud of the SPAR Team and their relentless approach to excellence. The strategies that the Team have developed in conjunction with the supplier partners has given SPAR retailers a competitive edge”
Further, SPAR Australia continues to expand its Private Label. In conjunction with SPAR International, the Range has expanded quickly with many innovative products in the ready to launch. Many thanks to Vicky Chan, SPAR International’s Product Sourcing Specialist (APAC), who made the long trip from Amsterdam to be with us on the night.
