We undertake a variety of activities on behalf of our levy payers to help them get the best possible returns from their enterprises in a sustainable way, as well as stimulating a profitable demand for beef and lamb.

At Asda we work with local suppliers to bring customers the products they want to see in their local store. One example is Wild’s bakery in Keighley which has been baking for the town since the 1920s where Grandma Wild’s biscuits are famous. When the new Asda store opened in Keighley in July, customers asked if we could stock their cakes, bread and biscuits and so we did!

The amount of help we provide to suppliers will vary from company to company. For example, a local farmer who is used to selling his goods at a farmer’s market will need more help getting set up to supply a national supermarket like Asda than a big multi-national company, so we work with them to give them the help they need, whether it’s giving training on barcodes or making special arrangements for deliveries.
