Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The publisher had delayed the review until May, but has now decided to delay it further due to the uncertainty being caused by the pandemic.
Darren Barker, managing director for News UK’s printing and logistics arm, said: “We have received positive feedback from our retail partners when we became the first wholesaler to freeze delivery charges in January and will look to work closely with our customers over the coming year to further strengthen the position of the news category as Britain bounces back.”
NFRN national president, Stuart Reddish, added: “Having initially delayed any review into its carriage charges until May, we are delighted that News UK DTR acknowledges the financial challenges that news retailers have found themselves in over the past year and has now decided to freeze this until the end of the year.”
