New horizons, fresh ideas and stronger partnerships!
Michael & Jackie recently joined fellow members and suppliers from across The Wholesale Group for its annual 2026 Conference, held in Tenerife North from 8-11th October.
Bringing together independent food wholesalers and key industry suppliers, the four-day event provided a fantastic opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas and look ahead to the future of the wholesale and foodservice industry.
The conference featured an impressive programme of presentations covering a range of important industry topics, including investment and business strategy, foodservice growth, market trends, shopper habits and the responsible use of AI.
With 1 to 1 meetings taking place throughout the event, there were plenty of opportunities to make new connections, share knowledge and explore ways of working together to benefit our business and customers.
For Thomsons Foodservice, being part of The Wholesale Group is about more than just being part of a buying group. It’s about the collective strength of independent businesses working together to secure the very best prices, products and opportunities for our customers.
A huge thank you to Jessica Douglas and everyone at The Wholesale Group for organising such a fantastic event, as well as all the suppliers and members who made it such a success.
We returned home feeling inspired, energised and excited about what’s ahead!
