29 Aug UK SPAR Boss Debbie Robinson Joins WiW Line Up
Managing Director of SPAR, Debbie Robinson, is joining the Women in Wholesale Conference to offer her top tips on how to boost confidence in business.
As the UK Managing Director, Debbie Robinson has guided SPAR through year on year growth whilst reducing costs for shoppers and retailers alike. Both sales and profits at SPAR have continued to increase, during a period where there has been a substantial reduction in revenues and profits across the retailing market.
Debbie will join the WiW Panel to discuss the key to confidence
Other industry experts on the panel are:
- Clare Bocking – Commercial Director, Tulip Food Solutions
- Hazel Detsiny – Managing Director, Unilever Food Solutions
- Sarah Whiddett – Head of Insight & Customer Experience, Bidfood
SPAR UK is also an official sponsor of the Women in Wholesale 2018 conference.
