GSCOP is the Grocery Supply Code Of Practice. This is the set of regulations which govern the UK grocery industry, by
controlling the relationship between designated retailers and their suppliers. Every retailer with a turnover exceeding £1bn
is bound by the regulations, which also say that annually they must refresh their training to all commercial staff.
But with suppliers, the knowledge is sadly lacking. In research carried out recently, the Grocery Code Adjudicator found a
massive 71% of suppliers have very limited knowledge of GSCOP.
NEW SUPPLIERS: Have you ever dreamed for your brand to be present in the top grocery retailers in the UK?
To enjoy the freedom, success and unlimited potential of expanding your business, perhaps internationally?
Knowing the regulations is vital for growing your business - know the protection that you have from unfair
treatment and bad business practices.
EXISTING SUPPLIERS: Or are you an existing supplier who has already developed a trading relationship with
one of the major supermarkets? Things sometimes don’t go smoothly, or you feel you aren’t being treated
fairly, but what do the regulations say? What protection are you given?
IT’S FOR YOU!: Ambitious suppliers nowadays are facing tough challenges; but can benefit from opportunities
brought by our industry’s fair competition principles. Suppliers need to be prepared with all the knowledge,
tools, strategies and negotiation skills if they want their businesses to survive.
Not based in the UK?
You are still protected!

important it is for suppliers to be
trained in GSCOP.

Really appreciate you
coming in yesterday. The
team really enjoyed the
session and took a lot of
learnings from it.
Just a quick note to say
thanks for today’s session. It
was really informative and
will be of huge benefit to our
business going forward.
Thanks for coming over. I really appreciate your efforts and advice on top of the
training. It has certainly made the wider team aware of potential areas where
there is an impact and grounds to discuss with colleagues concerns which may
fall under GSCOP.
Many, many thanks for enlight-
ening us on everything and also
giving us your contact details
too for advise sessions in the
future.
The session was excellent and
of real value and good clarity for
us all. I am sure we all took a lot
from it, the wider business
would really benefit from this
too.

You really should charge more! The session is going to bring massive value to the business going forward. I reckon we
have some immediate wins that will more than pay for the training. On top of that we have so much planned for renegoti-
ations. Thank you so much for all the advice and putting up with so many questions.
Your approchable style is a breath of fresh air - and myself I really enjoyed all the anecdotes from someone inside a
retailer!
