UFU Next Generation Forum meeting

​Representatives from the UFU’s Next Generation Forum visited Asda in Cookstown to better understand the complexities and challenges faced by the 17 stores across Northern Ireland.

ASDA provided an insight into the new technologies implemented in store which are driving efficiencies, the daily workings of the store and the shopping experience both for in store, click and collect and online customers.

Other topics of discussion included the Windsor Framework, loss leader products, local Northern Ireland suppliers and carbon.
