3 1. Letter from the Managing Director Dear Graduate Thank you for taking an interest in our amazing business. Within this pack you will find a lot of relevant information that should help you understand our business in more detail. In addition to sharing this information with you I also wanted to take the opportunity to tell you about my personal belief in this organisation. We have been around for 100 years and our objective is that we have a sustainable future as a family owned business. The Purpose and the Values that will secure this long-term success are outlined in what we refer to as The Blakemore Way: Our Purpose: To grow a family business in ways that are profitable and sustainable for the benefit of our staff, customers and community. Our Values: Maximise staff potential and their contribution to the company s success. Give great service to all our customers and add value to our trade partners. Make a significant, positive contribution to the community. Attain excellence in everything we do. Behave with honesty and integrity in all our relationships. We introduced The Blakemore Way to ensure that the identity and unique culture of the company is maintained and to empower all of our team to play a role in the future success of our business - these are not just words on a mission statement but values that you will witness in our everyday work. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and I look forward to meeting you in due course. Peter Blakemore A.F. Blakemore Group Managing Director Page 3 of 11

4 2. The Company A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd began life in 1917 as a single counter service food store in Wolverhampton and has grown into a grocery wholesaling, distributing and retailing company that now employs more than 8,000 people with a turnover of 1.3 billion. A.F. Blakemore has become one of the biggest and most successful family-owned enterprises in the UK, in part because of what it stands for and the way it does business. The Blakemore Way, which is the company s official values statement, outlines the company s longstanding commitment to developing a loyal and dedicated workforce that is focused on excellent customer service and behaving with integrity. The company has always emphasised the importance of building partnerships with suppliers and trade partners and never underestimates the role that it plays within the communities it serves. Peter Blakemore, the current managing director, joined the business in 1965 and in 1975 took it into the SPAR UK organisation. Since then, through organic and acquisitive growth, A.F. Blakemore has become the biggest division of SPAR UK, owning 300 SPAR stores and serving 700+ others in England and Wales; it is also the largest member of Landmark Wholesale and a significant supplier of the independent grocery sector across the UK. A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd is split into twelve divisions: Comprises 300 company-owned SPAR convenience stores and a workforce of over 5,000 people. It is the largest division within the company and leads the way in convenience retailing across England and Wales. A trading, marketing and sales support function for the SPAR stores across the Meridian & Welsh Guild, SPAR UK s largest guild of retailers. As well as small independent retailers, Blakemore Trade Partners also serves a number of leading convenience retail groups including Euro Garages, HKS Retail, ISS foodservice providers and MRH Retail. The company s overall distribution network spans across Wales to the east coast of England, reaching as far north as North Yorkshire and as far south as Kent and Sussex. The division operates from the ambient, chilled and frozen depots in the Walsall area, Talbot Green in South Wales and from Hastings, Sussex. Specialises in providing advice, store layout, design, project management and investment analysis for store developments to suit every budget, from the most basic works to a comprehensive, floor to ceiling refurbishment.

6 3. Purpose and Values The purpose and values of A.F. Blakemore were redefined by the Main Board within The Blakemore Way, to ensure that its identity as a family business with a strong ethical heritage is maintained for future generations. The purpose of the company is: To grow a family business in ways that are profitable and sustainable for the benefit of our staff, customers and the community. The five core values, which are very much in evidence within the business and are integral in achieving its ambitious growth plans, are: 1. Maximise staff potential 2. Give great customer service 3. Contribute to the community 4. Attain excellence 5. Behave with honesty and integrity These values have driven A.F. Blakemore s corporate commitment to positive and friendly relations between its staff, its customers and the communities it serves. One expression of this commitment, which is unique in its application, is the Blakemore Foundation, which donates at least 2% of the company s pretax profits to a range of small, local good causes in the company s trading area. The values of the company are also captured within its corporate responsibility programme, as an increasingly recognised exponent of responsible business practice across the territory it serves. Business performance is measured through separate objectives for the workplace, marketplace, community and environment as part of this commitment to growing a sustainable business. A.F. Blakemore s sales have almost tripled from 446m in 1998, and the growth momentum has accelerated in the past two years. The family business is well funded, ambitious and well placed to continue to grow in the short, medium and long term. Page 6 of 11
