Strategy

The group strategy is for growth through both ORGANIC and INTERNATIONAL expansion.

Organic GB revenue growth will be achieved by growing and supporting our brands, driven by:

  • MARKET growth of 2-3 %
    • Expandability - by meeting consumer needs in the future there is a significant opportunity to increase consumption
    • Cohorting – younger people consume more and take their habits with them as they grow older
    • Population – the UK population is expected to reach 71.6M by 2033, an increase of 10.2M
  • 2 major INNOVATION launches per annum adding 1% to 2% to revenue in a full year
    • This will include both new brands, brand extensions and new packs
  • Average Realised PRICING increase of 1% per annum
    • Pricing – growing the category value through price management
    • Maximising the effectiveness of promotional activity
    • Improving brand and channel mix
  • Closing DISTRIBUTION gaps in all routes to market
    • Our single-serve portfolio now offers an unparalleled choice and allows us to compete effectively in the impulse and foodservice channels
    • Becoming the partner of choice of retailers through compelling consumer and category insight
    • Developing equipment solutions such as Xtra-cold dispense/fountain
    • Understanding the different needs of in-store and online shoppers to maximise the opportunities
