Asda To Unveil An Enhanced Buying Deal With Walmart, To Create 6,000 New Jobs
by kamcity.com - 24/02/2010
"Asda has said it will outline later this today how it will further leverage Walmart’s buying strength in 2010."
The company said it will be an integral part of Walmart’s plans to lower costs through its new Global Merchandising Centres, leveraging the company’s global scale in both general merchandising and global food sourcing.
Asda said its fresh produce business – International Produce Limited (IPL) – will also play a key role in reducing prices on imported produce. Now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walmart, the company will buy in greater volume for Walmart stores worldwide, helping to lower prices for Asda shoppers. Asda President and CEO Andy Bond said, “We’re putting the right structure in place to generate significant savings to customers over the years ahead, powered by our unique relationship with Walmart.”
Ahead of its full year trading results* due out at 12pm, Asda also announced that a “successful 2009” means its store and depot staff will share a record £26m bonus pot – 18% higher than last year’s payout. The retailer added that it plans to create 6,000 new jobs in 2010 as part of a programme of recruitment to accommodate ten new store openings and ten store extensions, and unveil an enhanced buying deal with parent Walmart.
Asda said its success in 2009 was primarily driven by an increase in customer numbers and higher average basket spend, after broadening its appeal and welcoming one million more people through its stores each week. The staff bonus, which is paid to colleagues on 26 February, will be distributed amongst those with more than six months service working in Asda’s 371 stores and 21 depots across the UK.
Asda also revealed that its best performing stores in each country were Asda Rayleigh (England) Asda Enniskillen (Northern Ireland) Asda Girvan (Scotland) and Asda Pwllheli (Wales) – who all exceeded their sales plans and posted record growth.
