Retailer wins £5000 depot credit in Euros 2020 Coca-Cola-Bestway promotion

Bestway Wholesale has announced that one of its retailers has won £5000 depot credit as part of an exclusive partnership with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP).

“We have worked closely with CCEP for a number of years and they have a thorough understanding of our customers and our business," said Bestway MD Dawood Pervez. "This promotion was well conceived and well received and has been a win-win for both parties. It has also strengthened relationships between our depot staff and our retailers.
