Hello and welcome to the August - September issue of FMCG News. I have a brand new addition to tell you about this month. Starting on page 14 is our ‘Website Spotlight’ where we will look at the best websites from the FMCG industry.
Running in every issue, it will include an image of the home page, along with company contact de- tails and a concise description of the merits and functions of each site. Also, our online version will have live links directly to each website for you to click on and browse. If you would like to put your company’s website forward for inclusion please email
vicky.ellis@onecoms.co.uk. Elsewhere in this issue, on page 22, Steve Win-
wood of Culina UK takes a look at the logistics challenge. He looks at how with short lead times, multi-temperature storage, the constant replenish- ment of goods, high levels of traceability and accuracy status and the growing need for cus- tomised and shelf ready products, the sector requires and expects significant logistics expertise from its supply chain providers. Taking on our ‘Last Word’ this month is Neil Matthews, Checkpoint Systems’ Vice President of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe. He dis- cusses that about how the retail environment has become increasingly competitive over the years. And as the UK’s recession finally comes to an end, Neil says, it is more important than ever before for manufacturers to ensure their profits
