The Uncommon secures £1.2m investment for expansion 🍷💵 The UK-based canned wine brand has secured £1.2m in private funding from existing and new backers who have also funded Deliveroo, innocent drinks, and Fevertree. The Uncommon are the fifth largest wine producer by sales in the UK and has products available in Waitrose & Partners, Marks and Spencer, and Ocado Retail Ltd. Henry Connell, Co-Founder at The Uncommon, commented: "The funding signifies a resounding vote of confidence in our vision and will allow us to bring our unbelievably good English wine to more people. We’re in a unique position to be part of two growing categories: English wine and alternative packaging. Our steady growth is testament to the increasing thirst for quality within sustainable packaging, aligning with retailers’ drive towards Net Zero targets.” #Drinks #Wine #Expansion #Investment #Consumer

How does Action maintain its edge in the Non-Food discount sector and what are the key levers of its business concept? Dutch retailer Action has concentrated on non-food items, building strong competencies in this area. With an impressive 2023 revenue of €11.3 billion, Action benefits from higher-margin non-food products, whereas traditional discounters like Aldi and Lidl specialize in the food segment that generally yield lower margins. I recently discussed the impressive growth and strategic approach of Action on ProSieben's documentary series"Galileo Deconstructed." The retail concept fits into the time and serves current consumer behavior: Consumers are looking to save money, as they are still experiencing inflation, and Action provides this opportunity with their diverse range, a highly professional price management, and a mix of basic necessities, frequently changing variety, and bargain offers. Thanks to Pro7 #Galileo, Maike Greine & Nick Rasmus for the engaging interview!

Can SPAR shake up the Aussie grocery scene? Coles and Woolies dominate, but is there room for a new player? SPAR's global success rests on a few key factors: Focus on Fresh: Emphasis on quality produce, baked goods, and prepared foods could set them apart. Local Connection: Their franchise model allows for tailored product offerings and community ties – something big chains sometimes struggle with. Competitive Pricing: SPAR's buying power and efficient operations could lead to prices that challenge the duopoly. 🤔 SPAR could be the fresh disruption the Aussie grocery market needs #SPAR #grocery #retail #Australia #innovation

📣 Happy to announce that we are launching our new platform at Homemade B.V. with a new look powered by one of the top branding Agencies in Europe Creative Mules . 🚀 At Homemade, our vision is to revolutionize the way we order food 🍽, since we have seen enough inflation hitting the quality and affordability of our food , and how complex our global food supply chains are 🌍. Instead, we can order from our food safety-certified neighbours who always wanted to start a restaurant and never had the money or time to do so. Thus, connects us as neighbours together 🏘️, since 60% of people say they feel more lonely after the covid-19 pandemic. Also, it helps us strengthen our local economies 💪, since our spending doesn't have to go to all the big multinational corporations with huge market shares and instead goes to our neighbours ❤️. Our goal by the end of this year 🗓️ is to be able to donate a meal to the World Food Program 🌍 every time someone orders a meal. That way we can make not only a local impact but also a global impact 🌐. The most surprising part about it is that it only costs .70 cents to feed someone through the World Food Program 💰. So this is an open call 📢 to any interested partners that wants to join hands in making this dream possible and moving closer to a world with no hunger. This launch would not have been possible without our amazingly talented team Nijs van der Laan, Akintunde Akinyoade, Jessica Tatiana ,Groenewoud Zeyad Shabib, Mira Pohle, Aly Elgarrahy, yumna ammer and everyone who was with us since the beginning on this journey especially Christopher Tchalikian and Greta Dalla Giacoma. Big thanks also to Novel-T for helping us make this possible and empowering this vision since the first day and especially to Lars Prinsen, Peter Langela, Tim de Kraker, Rens Dommerholt, Ron Eekels, Emiel Pegge, Niels Palmers and Everyone else who has supported us around the way. #homemade #supplychains #localeconomy #futureofood #worldhunger #impact #supportlocal

One of my favourite parts of the week is the hour or two I spend on a Friday with Elin Roberts, Christopher Kong, Fabio Rinaldo and Dr. A. Driando Ahnan-Winarno. Watching how they lead, I am learning about far more than scaling a supercharged protein plant-based brand. I'm also learning about: - Resilience - Drive - Balance - 'Thoughtful'-ness - Stepping up - Navigating 'co-foundering' a scaling business with grace and humility. Along with their team, they are driving all kinds of growth - not just sales value growth - as the UK's fastest-growing wholefood protein brand. And hey, we could all do with more growth, so I count myself incredibly lucky to be on this journey with them. If you haven't tried Better Nature Tempeh as a staple in your fridge for those moments when you need a protein fix but are sick of chicken, don't fancy more tofu...or don't like protein powder in your smoothie - if you're like me - then go grab some. It's bloody brilliant. #plantbased #protein #alwayslearning #leadership
