Draft and refine supplier contracts to maximise rebates and settlement terms.

- Parity Management: Ensure supplier transparency across both banners; eliminate inconsistent terms to leverage Group scale.
- Equitable Investment: Manage financial support flow across the portfolio, aligning distribution with volume and strategic importance to prevent internal competition.
- Commercial Intelligence: Feed real‑time market and commodity insights to the HoCR and Brand teams to enhance negotiation playbooks.
- Support to the HoCR: Provide expert guidance to Brand Merchandise teams, ensuring brand decisions align with Group financial guardrails.
