“Together we grow our supplier relationships”

Steps Together is committed to providing excellent support for small, local supply businesses, and reducing our carbon footprint for goods and deliveries. This commitment is reflected in our approach to supplier relationships, which we believe to be of the utmost importance.

The importance of supplier relationships

Supplier relationships are vital to Steps Together’s success. By building strong relationships with our suppliers, we can ensure that we are able to obtain the best possible products and services for good value. Furthermore, by working with local suppliers, we are able to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the local economy.

Our approach to building supplier relationships

At Steps Together, we believe that building strong supplier relationships requires an ongoing effort. We strive to maintain open and honest dialogue with our suppliers, and to provide them with timely and accurate feedback on their performance. We also take the time to get to know our suppliers, and to understand their business objectives. This helps us to better collaborate with them and ensure that our mutual needs are met.

We achieve this with our suppliers by…

Ensuring our fresh catering produce is locally sourced and supplied by a reputable small business
Ensuring that our payment terms for small business suppliers never extends beyond 10 working days
Developing strong relationships based on trust, traditional values and honesty with all our suppliers
Find opportunities to actively promote local businesses through our own marketing and advertising channels
