Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The company, which supplies nearly 6,000 retail outlets inside the M25 area with The Sun and The Times, told the NFRN that its next review of its carriage charge would now take place in May 2021. Previously, it had deferred the review until March.
NFRN national president, Stuart Reddish, said: “News UK DTR’s latest announcement is further good news for retailers. We are pleased that the company is acknowledging the challenging financial position that many news retailers are currently experiencing and has decided to further delay its review.
“We hope this latest news will put even more pressure on Menzies Distribution to follow suit.”
Last week, Smiths News revealed it has suspended any review of its carriage charges for a year.
