YF can help from advisory to making it happen
"I need advice"
We would deploy a specialist advisor (or team of advisors) onto your business to carry out business model assessments and design operating model improvements, ensuring you can make change decisions with confidence.
"I need you to do it for me"
If you need more than just consultancy, we will run organisational change projects for you. These can include setting up your supply chain, creating your financial models, establishing your systems infrastructure, defining your sales proposition and plan, and many more common needs.
"I need a mix of advice and action"
All support provided is entirely bespoke to your needs so get in touch and we will put together the package required to get you live in your new channel quickly and with confidence.
Preparing a chilled meal solutions brand for grocery expansion
YF partnered with a foodservice focused chilled meal solutions brand with their large scale expansion into grocery. This involved 9 SKUs going into 2 of the UK’s largest retailers.
Our role was:
- Full project definition and management for the expansion into Grocery
- Supporting the product development workstream to adapt the product and brand to be fit-for-grocery
- Setup the full grocery supply chain
- Establish the ways of working and processes with the retailers
- Build the team
Outcome
The outcome was a successful launch into grocery, diversifying the business away from foodservice.
