"Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been" Upshop has been on a journey over the past 7 years, building a platform that is made for the challenges that food retail is facing now -- and will need to manage in the coming months and years. The unification with Invafresh is another move to skate to where the puck is going in global food retail enterprise technology. https://lnkd.in/gXYZzHFf #GroceryIndustry #FoodRetail #SupermarketTrends #GroceryInnovation #RetailTech #SustainableGroceries #FoodSupplyChain #GroceryBusiness #FreshProduce #GroceryMarket

Delivering consistent business growth isn’t easy. Working hard to connect with more customers, doing things the right way, to change things for the better, day in day out… it can be tough. But Team PW are firm believers that it’s about the journey, not the destination. The challenge with that? It can be hard to take time to reflect on how far we’ve come and what’s been achieved. So, when our Team at Protein Works heard that we made the top ranks of the Fastest Growing Food and Beverage Brands in the UK… for the third consecutive year, it hit an emotional note with us for sure. Why? Well, Protein Works has delivered uninterrupted growth for over a decade now and so to get a hatrick in the Fast 50 at this point in our story feels like a well earned ‘tip of the cap’ that our team deserves for the journey they’ve been on to date. It’s one hell of an achievement that everyone in Team PW has played a part in. Are we proud? Absolutely. Are we done? Absolutely not! 😉 So, here’s to the Team that smashed it out the park, and here’s to the journey ahead. Thank you Team PW. Onwards we charge. #Fast50 #ProteinWorks #TeamWork #BestShakesOnThePlanet #HighGrowth

Milestones can feel fleeting, but this one is going to stick for more than a minute. Uniting Upshop and Invafresh will offer #profound benefits to food retailers globally. But, the most important impact to me, is what we can do together for associates and store teams. The supermarket superheroes who put on the invisible cape when they enter the store, and then proceed to truly make it happen. It is not easy, and many days I know it's not fun. We are here for all associates. We will not rest until they leave the store feeling accomplished, having learned something, and maybe even had a little fun. It is happening now, but we are taking the mission globally. Oh, and by the way, with engaged people, come more effective operations, fresh-er food, and yes, less waste. #profoundimpact #besttogether #unitedforgood #upshop

Was excited to see McCormick & Company's new Frank's RedHot spice mixes on grocery shelves last week! (Thumbs up for both the Chili & Lime and the Buffalo Ranch mixes 😋 ) After a slightly sluggish quarter, McCormick is clear on the importance of innovation. Analysts in this article by Industry Dive recommend improved packaging and resonant innovation for Gen Z. (I'm not Gen Z, but they got me anyways!) https://lnkd.in/epVRkGpR In other words, if your goal is growth, it's time to double-down on new product launches. #IHUT #consumerinsights #CPGdata

Another lesson learned during this #Somos campaign. I had the fortune of talking with Omar Jorge , from Compare Foods Charlotte , and he gave me an amazing insight of what means to start your own business. “Building your own business is like putting together a puzzle in which the pieces change their shape all the time. So instead of thinking about finishing it, you need to learn to have fun and keep playing it in the long run.” Things we learn diring this amazing campaign from the Latin American Chamber of Commerce of Charlotte by The Brand Building Shop . #Somos #MakingItHappen
