Wholesale News issue 2406 out now
The latest issue of Wholesale News magazine wasn’t initially intended to be a themed issue and yet, one word appears again and again: collaboration.
An ex-boss used to parrot ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ at least once a day and while I’m reluctant to give them any credit for originality, it does seem that they were on to something.
At FWDLive!, it was clear from everypresentation and session that working together is the only way to drive forward the change we all want to see. Whether this is reducing carbon emissions, improving our people’s wellbeing, launching NPD or increasing sales, the fact is, no one can achieve their goals alone.
This was echoed at the eWholesale Collective event in June. It was obvious from the outset how much people valued the opportunity to talk to others and ask questions, share best practice and learn from one another. All too often we work in silos when so much can be achieved by working together to challenge ways of working and explore new ideas.
It reminds me again that wholesale really is the best of industries. Rooted in tradition with years of experience, and yet it has an endless capacity to innovate, create and move forward. And, with so many open minds and so much curiosity, despite its long legacy, it feels like the best is yet to come.
