| 13 Complementing Alexandra Park’s all-weather track are two grandstands and a number of function rooms. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Alexandra Park When it comes to delivering the goods, Gilmours is the ‘go to’ Foodservice partner, o ering a one stop shop with cash ‘n carry and the convenience of service delivery options. “When you think Foodservice and trust, we want you to think Gilmours,” says Sales Manager Ben Svensen. “We have a commitment to helping kiwi Foodservice providers get more out of life every day, by being their partner, and that means being the business that helps support the growth of their business. Delivering the goods is also about delivering our word and being that trusted Foodservice partner, and that’s really critical to our success. What underpins that is the promises we make around making it easy for our customers having the right product solutions, and providing real value every day.” Gilmours is 100% New Zealand owned and operated, with seven cash ‘n carry stores and ten distribution points for service delivery, strategically located throughout the North Island. “The split is seventy percent service delivery and thirty percent cash ‘n carry. Cash ‘n carry is similar to a supermarket where Foodservice customers walk the aisles, select the products, and pay at the check-out. They are ideal for small-medium enterprises that want to come in and see the products before purchasing, versus the more time poor restaurants and cafes that just want to Gilmours‒a one stop shop place an order once a day and have it delivered the following day.” Gilmours’ customers include cafés, restaurants, bars, fast food outlets, bakeries, caterers, schools, event providers and accommodation facilities, as well as the local o ice with a sta room/kitchen that provides tea, co ee and milo. “Gilmours is the only true one stop shop in the Foodservice market,” says Ben. “Our competitive advantage is that along with o ering the full extent of food items including frozen, chilled, dry goods and butchery goods we also distribute liquor. So, clients can get a full basket, including beer, wines, spirits and liqueurs.” Gilmour’s Mt Roskill site includes both a cash ‘n carry store and service delivery distribution point, and services the central Auckland region, along with a further distribution point out of Whangarei servicing our Northland customers. “In our Auckland region, we deliver Monday to Saturday and if the order comes in by 10.00pm the customer receives next day delivery. We provide a 24-hour operation, with a team picking up late orders, and night loaders illing the trucks ready for delivery throughout Auckland from 6.30am. There’s also the option for customers to call in on a Sunday to a cash ’n carry if they need to do a top up.”
