Another Grand Win for Cookie Time at Nargon
MEDIA RELEASE
9/11/09
Cookie Time has won the Overall Grand Prize at the Grocery Retailers' Association national supplier awards.
The Grocery Retailers'
Association (NARGON) has over 500 retail members, all of whom
are owner-operators of New Zealand grocery stores, from
the largest supermarkets to the smallest dairies. Members
vote to find the best grocery supplier in the
country.
"Considering we're measured against
multinationals with resources far greater than ours, it's
particularly pleasing to come out on top," said Cookie Time
General manager, Lincoln Booth.
In addition to
collecting the overall Grand Prize, Cookie Time also took
away a Gold in the Best Small Supplier
category.
Judging criteria includes new product
development, paper trail, in-store support, distribution
efficiency, orders delivered on time & in full, and head
office relationship.
Christchurch-based Cookie Time
started in 1983 and quickly grew to become New Zealand's
leading cookie brand. The company's multi award-winning One
Square Meal brand launched into USA earlier this
year.
The Grand Prize win at NARGON tops off of what
Mr Booth describes as a "phenomenal year" for Cookie
Time.
Second place in the Overall Grand Prize category
went to Coca Cola Amitil, and in third place was
Cadbury's.
