Bestway Wholesale has announced that its van sales service has achieved 7% year-on-year customer growth and is forecast to turnover more than £80m in 2023.
This is the fifth year of consecutive growth for Bestway Vans Direct, which supplies snacks, crisps, biscuits and sweets to over 21,000 independent retailers.
Bestway Vans director, Dan Lewis, said: “We are selling more, and helping our retailers make more through offering them an agile service to keep the right products on shelves and turn orders around quickly.
“The business is in great shape and I’m really proud of what the team has achieved across the last five years during what has to be the toughest trading conditions the market has seen in decades”.
The vans stock up from 34 Bestway and Batleys depots nationwide, with each Bestway Vans Customer Sales Representative (CSR), visiting around 18 customers each day.
Dawood Pervez, managing director for Bestway Wholesale, said: “If we look back to ‘the beginning’ in 2017, insight showed that delivered wholesale had increased 30% in ten years reaching £11.3bn versus only a 20% increase in cash and carry.
“This highlighted the need to increase delivered initiatives evidencing an increase in the wholesale market overall”.
The business has added 56 custom-designed vans to its fleet as part of its replacement and investment program.
