Appleby Westward Group Plc
Appleby Westward is SPAR's wholesaler in the west country. They have a long-established local distribution service currently meeting the needs of nearly 400 stores from Chichester in the east, Land's End in the west and Salisbury in the north. They have a strong service culture with strict 24 hour order lead times.
However, Appleby Westward prides itself in being more than simply a distributor of goods and takes a very active role in helping retailers increase sales and profitability. As part of the strategy of working in partnership with retailers, the company can also provide retail funding for store modernisation and assistance with funding bank loans through our unique interest free loans scheme.
They regularly co-invest with our retailers and have ploughed £8 million into store development over the last five years to help grow retailers' businesses and maintain our position as the leading convenience brand in the south west.
