Issue 1, 2019 of Contact International now out

March 27, 2019 IN THE CATEGORY: Digital and Marketing

In this first issue of the magazine for the year, we begin by looking back at the annual SPAR Partnership Forum, which took place in Amsterdam towards the end of last year. An event that has grown significantly in scale, the 2018 Forum was a true celebration of the contributions of our preferred suppliers and of how we are all working ‘Better Together for a Better Future’.

Turning the focus to our independent retailers and store managers, we share the stories of Frans Jooste from SPAR Botswana and Obyda Mustafa Karazi from SPAR UAE. They are both fantastic retailers who are excelling in growing the brand in their respective markets.

Other features of this issue include a review of two spectacular SPAR stores in Norway and Ireland, a look back at the 2018 SPAR European Cross-Country Championships, and an update on the SPAR Bake-Off solution with a summary of recent market implementations.

Finally, in addition to rounding up the latest SPAR Worldwide developments, we report on the new SPAR Natural range of products, which has been developed in response to growing consumer demand for healthier food options.
