One week left for GCA annual survey

Food businesses that supply goods directly to the UK's 10 largest supermarkets have until 17 April to submit comments to the Groceries Code Adjudicator.

The annual survey of suppliers by the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) is a vital source of information, which helps determine the GCA's focus and priorities for the year ahead. In a message this week, the Adjudicator, Christine Tacon, stressed that it was important for her to get the views of as many direct suppliers to the 10 regulated retailers as possible. You can access the survey here.

The results will be launched at the GCA annual conference on 26 June in Westminster, London: details here.
