Digital Signage offering will continue to further strengthen the Group Retail Club mechanic via enhanced execution excellence and in-store theatre. It’s a great initiative for both our Members and Supply Partners.

"I have no doubt that the roll out of digital screens in retail stores will lead to increased sales and distribution though compliance and execution.”
