Proposed closure of Barr Direct operations

Dear Retailer,

We are writing to confirm that we are entering a period of consultation which may lead to the closure of our Barr Direct store delivery service - including our telesales operation and delivery teams.

Instead, we will be asking our customers to purchase from their local wholesaler, many of whom will bring your favourite AG Barr brands straight to your door.

Our proposal would see us move to an enlarged and enhanced field sales operation to support our customers, with more teams on the ground to both meet your needs and help grow your business.

We are currently in the consultation phase with employees affected by our proposal. Should we go ahead, we anticipate the last Barr Direct deliveries will be towards the end of June. We’ll be running our service as normal over the coming weeks.

We will be back in touch with you in a few weeks, at the end of the consultation period, to give you more details. If in the meantime you have any questions, we have a special team dedicated to support you. You can contact them on 0330 390 3845 or email BarrDirectQueries@agbarr.co.uk

On a day to day basis your telesales account manager will continue to offer the professional level of service you have come to expect.

Yours,

Barr Direct
