Parfetts has appointed Peter Jones as the new general manager of its Sheffield depot.
Previously a supply chain manager at the company’s head office in Stockport, he has been with Parfetts for seven years and at Morrisons for 17 years.
New solar panels to reduce carbon emissions have recently been installed at the depot, and it has also changed the way it fulfils the GOLD-delivered service and replenishes the depot to increase availability and improve efficiency. The depot’s delivered customer base spans South Yorkshire, Humberside and the East Midlands.
Commenting on his new role, Jones said: “Sheffield is a well-established cash and carry, already with a great team. I’m getting out to see our retailers and understand where we can enhance our service, and my door is always open for feedback. As a team, we’re focused on providing great customer service and availability. We’re also enhancing our GOLD service. I aim to grow the depot’s customer base and attract new retailers to the fast-growing Go Local fascia.”
Guy Swindell, joint managing director of Parfetts, added: “Peter is a fantastic addition to the team in Sheffield. He has a passion for wholesale and is already enhancing many aspects of the operation. I’m sure that retailers will value his approach to the job. He’s focused on supporting their businesses and improving their margins.”
