Members of wholesale buying groups Landmark Wholesale and Today’s Group have voted for the groups to merge.
The member vote, which closed on 6 September 2018, will result in a larger group called Unitas Wholesale Ltd. Of those members who voted, 96% were in favour of the merger going ahead.
“We are absolutely delighted that our members voted to merge the two groups,” said John Mills, Landmark Wholesale managing director and Darren Goldney, Today’s Group managing director. “Through enhanced scale, relevance and capability, Unitas Wholesale will be the sustainable wholesale business partner for its supplier base, creating an alternative route to market in the face of the consolidation that is taking place within the wholesale sector.”
The merger will formally complete on 31 October 2018. Current 2018 joint business agreements between the two groups and suppliers will remain in place until the end of the calendar year.
