Appleby Westward is SPAR's wholesaler in the west country. We have a long-established local distribution service currently meeting the needs of a large number of great stores from Chichester in the east, Land's End in the west to Bristol and Salisbury in the north. We have a strong service culture with strict 24 hour order lead times. However, Appleby Westward prides itself in being more than simply a distributor of goods and takes a very active role in helping retailers increase sales and profitability. As part of the strategy of working in partnership with retailers, the company can also provide retail funding for store modernisation and assistance with funding bank loans through our unique interest free loans scheme. In addition Appleby Westward Group operates a retail division of over 100 convenience store under the SPAR brand in the South West.
