Tesco Ireland has been named Irish suppliers’ retailer of choice for engagement and collaboration for the eighth year in a row.
The result came to light in a new ‘Voice of the Supplier Report’ from Advantage Group UK and Ireland.
Advantage Group International’s All-Ireland Voice of the Supplier fieldwork took place in October and November 2023, with over 550 respondents from over 400 manufacturing businesses taking part.
In a highly competitive group of 16 retailers and wholesalers, Tesco Ireland achieved the highest engagement score when measured against four engagement drivers, partnership, execution, reputation and vision.

C&C Shareholder Proposes New Board Members
C&C Group shareholder Engine Capital has called for new leadership on the board, a month after calling for the sale of the drinks company.
In June, the investor group – which owns just over 5% of the drinks giant – called for changes in the company in the face of a number of ‘structural and self-inflicted problems.’
These include the small size and complexity of C&C’s drinks portfolio the appointment of the company’s fourth CEO in four years.
In an open letter published 30 July, Engine Capital once again referred to the Bulmers owner as a ‘perennial underperformer,’ saying it had witnessed ‘succession missteps, strategic mistakes, execution blunders, accounting adjustments due to deficient internal controls, goodwill impairment and the mismanagement of an enterprise resource planning implementation.’
The shareholder added, however, that it still believes the group ‘owns unique and strategic assets.’
