White Brothers (Whitney) Ltd

wins an Innovation Award for developing acommercial model for sourcing and supplying new products to charity retail organisations throughout the UK. The company started tradingin 2005 and supplies high quality new goods that offer value to charity shoppers. The model allows the applicant to acquire rejected products from high street retail suppliers at alow cost then process the stockand supply it to charity retail outlets at alow price point. When stock supplied is problematic, (damaged, oversupply etc) it is costly for thesupplier to deal with (either by landfilling or shipping to the manufacturer). The applicant can purchase the problematic stock from the supplier,thereby removing the cost of dealing with the unwanted product. The stock is then processed, de-branded, repackaged and sorted then soldon to charity retail outlets. The company also provides abespoke fulfilment service that is tailored to suit each customer’s infrastructure.in strict confidence 21 April 2016**
