The Musgrave Group

What we do

At Musgrave we work in partnership with entrepreneurial food retailers in Ireland, the UK and Spain. Our approach is to co-create brands with our retail partners, and equip them with the sales, marketing, IT, finance and logistical expertise that come with the most advanced retail model.

We also leverage our scale to help retailers compete on quality and price.

In response to the current downturn we have delivered our partners increased support that has included bringing value to the consumer.

We also operate a network of cash & carry outlets across the island of Ireland and Spain that has been specifically developed to meet the changing needs of the independent food retailer and foodservice professional.

Our strategy

With pressure on everyone's wallet, consumer spending patterns have transformed in all our markets. More than ever the focus now is on value – all of us are looking at ways to make our food budgets go further. This plays to our strengths.

Achieving lowest cost without compromising quality means we are sharpening processes and reducing costs right across our business. It means investing in systems and infrastructure to secure efficiencies that can help reduce the cost of a family shop. It also means offering the right promotions for each market, at the right time. Providing competitive advantage & consumer value where, when & how they are needed most.

Extensive brand development means all our brands now serve as invaluable competitive assets for our retail partners in tough trading conditions. We're working hard to ensure consumers see beyond the fascia to the quality and value associated with all our brands.

Continuing to promote community food retailing and associate our brands with trust, quality, value and innovation remains at the heart of our development strategy for the foreseeable future.

Our values

We believe there are a number of key characteristics that can give modern family businesses like ours an edge in competitive markets. These include favouring enduring relationships over short-term gain and investing in the long term.

Family businesses are also able to build a coherent community of committed stakeholders by communicating and 'living' their values.

As a private business with a firm commitment to remaining an independent family-run company, these are precisely the qualities that define our enduring partnerships with our retailers, suppliers and colleagues.

Without shareholder pressure we can afford to invest in long-term stable relationships with all key stakeholders, particularly retailers, suppliers and local communities.
