ONE UNITED ONLY BRAND HOUSE

Why is this not only important but also highly prioritized year after year????

The Supplier Summit 2023 stands as a testament to ONLY Brand House's unwavering commitment to building strong and enduring partnerships. By bringing together partners and friends who are integral to the company's operations under one roof, the event aims to reinforce the shared purpose and create an even stronger plan for the new financial year.?

"With honesty and togetherness, we welcomed our dearest key partners and friends from across the world to kickstart our new financial year with business insights, meetings, inspiration and motivation", Heidi Langager, Sourcing and Buying Director said before Margaretha Mikkelsen, Buying and Design Director added; "and with strong partnerships comes better products and better results not only for us but also for our partners." - And that will be the answer to the question above.?

Setting the scene???

Our CEO, Finn Poulsen, kicked off the program with a speech about future visions and 10 strong promises for the future.?

The first day's program was packed with panel debates about sourcing, buying and sales. With an interactive setup, people in the hall could ask questions to the panel on their phones. With many enthusiastic and motivated colleagues in the panel, we were happy that Felix Smith, a Danish TV Host, stopped by to moderate the debates and guide us through the day's program.?

Networking and business plans as one united ONLY Brand House??

Network meetings and business plans form the backbone of the collaboration between ONLY Brand House and its partners. By engaging in open discussions, setting clear objectives, and maintaining effective communication, both parties can achieve mutual success and sustain a competitive edge in the market. The main goal for both parties will always be 'to grow together'.????

This year's Supplier Summit marked significant milestones in many ways, not least because all brands at ONLY Brand House were a part of it for the first time in history.????

"The shared vision and mission were clear – we all have the same goals across brands. JDY WOVEN had no less than ten meetings with partners from Wednesday to Friday, and besides that, we also met with all Bestseller Offices and Country Managers to ensure our strategies are aligned." Pernille Schlander, Buying and Design Manager, JDY Woven, said.?

While the summit presents numerous opportunities, it may also come with challenges;???

" Different brands within ONLY Brand House might have differing priorities, cultures, and ways of doing business. Navigating these differences and finding new ways to align were significant aspects of the experience. I found that very inspiring and not least useful." -Christian Niebuhr, Buying Responsible, ONLY&SONS Denim, said.?

With hard work comes pleasure???

-Therefore, we all gathered for dinner, drinks, and lots of inspiring and entertaining activities such as magic, music and the famous ONLY Brand House award show. Seven awards were presented to different partners. Partners, who have been a part of our journey for many years, and partners who play a crucial role in our future strategy. Finally, we found the first winner of our ‘Hall of fame’ award. Congratulations to all winners.

We will look back at this week with pride, joy, motivation, and inspiration.

Thank you to everyone behind the event. Thank you to all colleagues, partners, and friends.?

Let's grow together!??
