Sometimes more can be achieved more efficiently with companies acting collectively rather than individually. The Group is the vehicle for branded companies to work together to create a positive climate in the UK, where brands are both understood and valued and where a relentless focus on the consumer, innovation and investments in quality and reputation are recognised as drivers of growth, good for jobs and competitiveness and crucial to export performance.<\/p>\n
The Group is owned by its members and is a not-for-profit organisation.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Group\u2019s work explaining and championing brands, there are further benefits of membership:<\/p>\n
Over and above our work on policy, members have access to a range of services including senior level round-table meetings, members\u2019 meetings on brand-focused topics, free publications, free training, preferential rates for events and publications produced by others and an information service.<\/p>\n
The Group\u2019s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information on the benefits of membership, or to add your voice to the collective, please contact us<\/a>, or complete the application below.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Membership & GSCOP” module_id=”membership-gscop” _builder_version=”4.2.2″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.britishbrandsgroup.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tipping-the-balance-orange.jpg” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||0px|” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Groceries Supply Code of Practice, monitored and enforced by an Adjudicator, is improving relationships between large grocery retailers and their suppliers.<\/p>\n Where suppliers are subjected to unfair demands and practices, such as calls to guarantee retail margins, pay lump sums or to have money removed unilaterally from trading accounts, the Code may well apply.<\/p>\n Members, working through the British Brands Group, are keen for relationships between retailers and their suppliers to be fair and lawful, with some certainty surrounding trading conditions and where unexpected costs and excessive risks are not transferred from the retailer to the supplier. That encourages innovation and investments in quality and reputation from which shoppers benefit directly.<\/p>\n A range of relevant services are provided to members:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Blue Section” module_class=”downarrow” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”#004b85″ custom_padding=”0px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”50px|0|50px|0″ custom_padding_phone=”” transparent_background=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”testimonials” module_id=”member-testimonials” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Neill Craigie” job_title=”Managing Director Europe” company_name=”P Z Cussons” admin_label=”Neil C” _builder_version=”3.2″ use_background_color=”off” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]Brands need championing and the Group does a great job through its events, studies and lectures, particularly with those who shape public policy and the trading environment.
