The new Trents website for online ordering and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) was implemented. This solution has provided increased web and marketing functionality. The level of interest from Trents customers for the new website has been exceptional. In May 2009, Trents commenced the supply of liquor to Liquorland franchise outlets in the South Island. This is the first step in integrating the Liquorland franchises into Foodstuffs South Island Ltd.
Henry’s Beer Wine & Spirits is making excellent progress within the South Island. The Group experienced good sale increases for the year and enjoyed a significant increase in customer count. This year the Group celebrated the opening of their 17th store in Alexandra. The opening of Henry’s Alexandra coincided with the launch of the new colours and updated branding. This bold colourful format will be introduced to the rest of the Group over 2010.
