Family Retailer going for Gold

 

Recognising the best of the best in grocery retail for service, initiative and commitment, The Grocer Gold Awards are held in high regard by all within the industry.

 

Harry Tuffins MD, Paul Delves, stated: “Selected as finalists in The Grocer Gold Awards 2011 is a fantastic achievement for the whole team. 2010 has seen the largest growth period in our history, with the acquisition of three convenience stores, giving us the extra buying power essential to have the competitive edge over ever increasing competition. As always we are grateful to our foremost trading partner in NISA-TODAYS with whom our expansion has gone hand in hand over the last few years.”

 

Turnover, like for like, at Tuffins was up 6% for 2010/11 (year end January) and overall Shop Turnover was up 20% for the same period, excluding petrol sales. These figures stand up even with the most difficult weather and trading conditions last year.

 

Paul Continued:  “Our business was established in 1950 by my grandfather and we are proud to be where we are today, a successful company, serving our customers and right at the heart of our communities whilst remaining truly independent.”
