Four members go live on new Sugro Insight Service powered by TWC

Four members go live on new Sugro Insight Service powered by TWC

As announced last May, Sugro UK and data and digital experts, TWC, have partnered to create the Sugro Insight Service. The new service uses TWC’s market leading SmartView reporting dashboards to provide a reliable and up to date read of group sales performance to the head office team, suppliers and participating members.

The Sugro Insight Service will be live from today. The first four members on the service are BG Benton, Courtney & Nelson, Glencrest, and O’Reillys Wholesale. Taylor Wholesale and Youngs Wholesale will also be live in a few weeks, with a further batch of members will be joining them on the platform in early 2024.


Several of Sugro’s key suppliers have already signed up to the service and can now access detailed sales and customer distribution data by named member to help them identify even more growth opportunities.

Further upgrades are already planned for the new platform to ensure it offers a point of difference against other data services as well as additional return on investment for suppliers. From the new year, the Sugro Insight Service will include a breakdown of sales online versus offline so that suppliers can view digital performance and ROI as well as a split by customer type so that suppliers can understand their product sales via each of the member’s routes to market and build customer centric plans.

“We are delighted to launch this new service and we look forward to demonstrating the value of the dataset with all our members and suppliers," said Yulia Petitt, Sugro UK's Head of Commercial & Marketing. "We’re particularly excited about the enhanced supplier packages, which will enable users to get even more value from the data and will support the group with its growth plans.”

Tanya Pepin, Managing Director at TWC added: “It’s great to launch the Sugro Insight Service with such key members of the Sugro family. We’re continuing to keep discussions open with other interested members and we look forward to welcoming them onboard in the coming months”

Things to know about new Simpler Recycling reforms

Although the UK's overall recycling rate has seen a significant rise, reaching 44 per cent in 2015 compared to just 17 per cent in 2008, progress has plateaued in recent years, with indications that the rate may now be declining.

Safer alternatives to cigarettes could save millions of lives and billions of pounds, says think tank

Promoting safer alternatives to cigarettes could save 19 million years of life by 2030 and reduce smoking-related costs to taxpayers by up to £12.6 billion annually, a new report from the Adam Smith Institute (ASI) has revealed.

The think tank argues that the UK government's current approach to achieving a Smoke Free 2030 - defined as reducing smoking rates to 5 per cent or lower - is both illiberal and unworkable and will significantly set back progress against smoking related harm. The ASI warns that policies such as a generational tobacco ban, a new tax on vapes, and restrictions on heated tobacco products and flavours will hinder harm reduction efforts.
