I have found that the level of service and professionalism is exceptional. For me, one of the most important aspects of any relationship is ongoing communication and ensuring that I am kept up to speed with a process and how this is progressing and this is certainly an element of the service provided that I feel is a strength of Cast.
FMCG Sector Overview
The top players in the FMCG sector are recognised for their ability to produce the items that are in highest consumer demand while, at the same time, developing brand loyalty as household names.
- Since the 2008 economic downturn consumers are increasingly price conscious and vigilant about value. FMCG players have had to respond to that by launching more value products while retaining quality and brand loyalty.
- High volume production and distribution from ‘store to door’ means that a massive emphasis is placed on the supply chain, sustainability and operational models to ensure optimum efficiency.
- The grocery market accounts for 51.3p in every £1 of UK retail sales (IGC).
- Food & Drink represents the largest manufacturing sector in the UK - 14% (source UKTI).
- The sector is always evolving – 40% of brands on the Top 100 list twenty years ago have already been replaced by new names.
- FMCG companies are constantly innovating and thinking of the next ‘big thing’ to meet consumers’ needs.
