Cluster Families will encourage stores in the same region to communicate online and face-to-face. The group’s Mentor Scheme will match up experienced store owners with newcomers. And Londis Voice, an online retailer advisory panel, will see members give monthly feedback that will be used be used to shape future decisions.
Sales director Scott Wharton said: “We are providing a framework to offer an informal and social support network for our retailers, so that we can all work together for mutual benefit.”
