Unitas Wholesale members operating primarily in the foodservice or on-trade channels will be given a 30% reduction in their membership fees for the year 2021/22.
The buying group stated that the reduction in fees was in recognition of the ongoing issues that the channel is facing because of the pandemic and the effect that lockdown restrictions have had on the out-of-home channel.
Managing Director John Kinney said: “2020 and the beginning of 2021 have been challenging for everybody; however, it has been catastrophic for the out-of-home sector and the independent wholesalers that serve it, with many having to close their doors temporarily while furloughing their teams.
Y International, the Birmingham-based buying arm of the Lulu Group, has joined Unitas.
Lulu Group operates more than 200 retail stores across the Middle East and India. Y International deals in grocery, impulse, chilled and frozen and non-food products including health & beauty and petfoods, and has a turnover of around £35m.
“We are looking forward to working with Y International to support them in growing and developing their business into the future,” said Unitas Wholesale MD John Kinney.
Y International operations director Tony Perks said: “Our business has seen growth over the years, and we will continue to do so. To aid our future strategic plans, the Unitas Wholesale model provides a perfect partnership for our needs.”
OAKLAND Seventeen months after Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School Superintendent Beverly Mackay announced her August retirement, the Board of Education has hired an Illinois firm to search for her successor.
Hazard Young Atea Associates of Schaumburg, Illinois, was retained by the board on March 8 for $15,500 to find a replacement for MacKay, who announced in October 2019 that she would retire last August.
Board President Filomena Laforgia attributed the delay to the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and unexpected staffing shifts. When Superintendent Beverly MacKay retired effective Aug. 1, the nation and all New Jersey school districts were grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and still are, Laforgia said.
