In Nigel’s words, not ours. (Thanks Nigel!)

“Consult Group understood our brand from the beginning and were able to successfully introduce a completely new line to the grocery buyer. The new line was a tattoo product that was widely seen as underground and not mainstream, this was a huge feat. They took the time to understand our needs and to also explain the needs and requirements of the supermarkets to us and to have a partner like that is unbeatable.”

Nigel Soden, Manager, Dr Pickles
