We have listened to our customers who tell us time and time again that our commitment to customer service is a key strength and that will always be the case”.  ​

“Now, at a time when businesses are facing many challenges, we are focused on building the strongest service proposition in the market – whilst providing the most extensive range at the best value. Our new brand positioning or strapline as it’s commonly called, Business Made Easy, brings all these commitments together.”​

Desi Derby continues: “The service enhancements and range expansion over the past year are all designed to bring our new promise to life. We appreciate our customers operate in busy and challenging environments and our new promise is all about making their life that little bit easier. Importantly it will also focus colleagues on making business easier for customers – If it doesn’t meet that criteria, then we don’t do it – it really is as simple as that”.​

Speaking about the digital investment, Desi Derby added : “Covid has accelerated a move to digital for many of our customers, indeed we’re seeing online as the fastest-growing channel for our customer and expect that 60% of our orders will come through online by the end of 2024”.​

“With this in mind, it was crucial that we invested in making our online ordering experience as simple and user friendly as possible. The digital space is a core part of our strategy and we are committed to innovating in this space further to deliver a world-class customer experience.”​
