🤝 Insight: Prioritising Value Over Profits in Building Partnerships 🤝 In a fast-paced industry like ours, it’s tempting to focus solely on short-term profits. But at Bolt Food, we’ve found that true, sustainable growth comes from partnerships that create value – not just for our business but also for our customers. Value-driven partnerships are the ones that withstand market shifts and consistently deliver on customer expectations. Practical Advice: Here’s how we ensure that our partnerships are built on a foundation of value rather than quick wins: Identify Shared Goals: Before diving into any partnership, we focus on finding shared objectives. This alignment means we’re working together for more than just financial gain – we’re both aiming to create meaningful customer experiences. Assess Long-Term Impact: We evaluate potential partnerships based on the long-term value they can bring to our customers. If a partnership can enhance our customer experience and support our mission, it’s worth more to us than a high-profit, short-term opportunity. Invest in Transparent Communication: Clear, honest communication builds trust and creates a strong foundation for value-centric collaboration. It’s a priority for us to ensure that both sides feel respected and understood. 📈 In your experience, what’s been the most impactful outcome of a value-focused partnership? Let’s discuss how we can make our partnerships meaningful, sustainable, and customer-centric! #ValueDriven #LongTermGrowth #BoltFood #SustainableBusiness #Partnerships

Open book business plans 📖 Covid was catastrophic on many levels, however the collaborative and open approach between businesses during this time was refreshing and energising at a time when we were all re-assessing our operating environments and plotting our courses through. With this spirit in mind, I wanted to share the outline of our business plan and some of our successes and failures against it, so far. After I moved back into a central role last Spring it was clear where the areas of focus needed to be. Not least due to Covid and significant industry headwinds, we had to get our bottom line back to pre-pandemic levels whilst maintaining market leading growth. First up we surveyed our organisation and asked for input on where our people wanted to see the business go. We knew we were going to have to dig deep and hustle hard to achieve what we wanted to. We wanted everyone to have an opportunity to have their say. Using this input, we built a plan and communicated this back to the business. Alongside our positive impact objectives this led to 5 key commercial objectives. 1. The Family of Faith - Northern Monk grew c20% YoY, our strongest YoY growth in three years. 📈Faith is the fastest growing & 2nd biggest hazy beer in the U.K.* 📋Holy Faith will be listed in the top 4 retailers by the end of the year. We are the 2nd fastest growing AF brewer in the UK** ⭐Faith / Holy Faith have 2 and 3 stars at the Great Taste Awards respectively. 2. Tap rooms - Our biggest learning here. We had a site fall through at the last minute. Having a lean team and fast-growing business we fell into the trap of placing one big bet. We now have a robust pipeline of opportunities across the U.K. 3. Value - Our SUP beers are the most accessible in our range, designed to deliver the highest quality at the best value. Original SUP is flying on cask. It’s been listed in 4X440ml across the U.K. at Lidl. SUP & Lime launches nationwide at Tesco imminently! 4. Beyond Beer – Holy Hop Water - “Wonderfully thirst quenching”, says the FT. It’s the third best-selling product in our web-shop. Lots still to play for here. 5. Added value - This was about a laser focus on making sure we were delivering from an EBITDA perspective. Delighted to say that we will finish EBITDA positive for the year which we’ve just closed. Posting a c£0.3M EBITDA profit. Always room for improvement, we’ll be updating our plan to reflect our learnings and re-releasing it so it's ‘25 ready. Massive thanks to the Monk team that left it all on the field in achieving these results, our incredible investors and our Monk drinking community for all their ongoing support. Nothing ground-breaking here but I hope some people might find it useful. We’ve just kicked off our next FY, we’re on track for £20M and achieving run rate £25M turnover by the end of it. Keeping the Faith 🍻 *Nielsen L12W 13/07/24 **Nielsen L12W 10/08/24

Holly Shit! 6 months already… In September 2023, I made the gutsy decision to leave behind a secure job and company. I was hungry for change, both personally and professionally. Despite applying for countless roles in FMCG, finding the right fit proved to be tougher than expected. Then, just two weeks away from bidding farewell to my current position, my incredible wife gave me a perspective shift. "Babes, you got this!" With her unwavering support and a solid business strategy in hand, I took the plunge. It wasn't easy – we had to make sacrifices, like parting with our beloved dream vehicles and tightening our budget. But they say, "There can be no success without sacrifice." And so, Supplier Collaboration Project (SCP) was born – a new-age broker focused on forging lasting partnerships and offering collaborative solutions. With an exceptional team by my side and a wealth of experience, we embarked on this exhilarating journey. Looking back on these last six months, I can't help but wish I'd taken this leap sooner. We've built more than a business; we've built a team driven by passion and integrity, advocating tirelessly for our clients. Amidst the challenges, there have been triumphs: 1. Lightning-fast website development, thanks to the incredible team at BlueOcean | The B2B Agency 2. Impressive distribution gains within FSNI for multiple clients with local ranged products 3. Successful client meetings, closing 8 and with more on the horizon. 4. A transformative brand rework that has taught me invaluable lessons. 5. Accelerated national expansion plans, yup year 3 goal of going national is commencing from the 1st July 2024! I owe a debt of gratitude to our invaluable external partners and network: Lee Hunter Anna Subritzky Mitchell Whitehouse | BrandSpec Tim Waite Ashleigh Barnett 💫 2degrees Waikato Chamber of Commerce New Zealand Food Innovation Network And, of course, a shoutout to our dedicated clients and the SCP team: Modest Beverages, Nerys Whelan, Baxter's Original NZ, Berrin Moody, Girls Get Off, Glasseye Creek Sauce Company, Shane Wratt, Peoples Coffee Limited, Matthew Lamason, THE WILD FERMENTARY LIMITED, Kelli-Jo Walker, @Enviro-cleanz, Mikala Midwood, Supplier Collaboration Project Ltd, Leisha Kilpatrick, Connor Kilpatrick, Fernanda Bandeira Here's to the next six months of growth, collaboration, and even greater success – fueled by passion, determination, and the unwavering support of loved ones. Cheers to the journey ahead!

In the service business, it’s not just about that one-time sale. Sure, anyone can sell something once, but the challenge lies in creating lasting relationships that lead to consistent business. 💡 Whether you're running a restaurant or offering any service, success hinges on consistency and trust. 🍽 Take restaurants, for example. You can have the best food, but if your service and experience aren't consistent, customers won’t come back. It’s the systems in place that ensure every guest gets that same top-tier experience, every time. 🔍 Here’s what you can learn: You don't rise to the level of your aspirations. You fall to the level of your systems. The secret? Create systems that support your vision, so you’re delivering excellence consistently. 🧠 Next time you're focusing on growth, think about the systems you have in place. What’s one process you can improve to ensure your customers keep coming back?
