Employer Description:
At Baker & Taylor UK our aim is to ensure that our retail partners have the optimal book ranges in store. This means quality ranges of books that inspire the consumer and maximise retail sales. As the leading UK wholesaler of customised retail book ranges we have access to all UK publications and many overseas lines but we differ by supporting this with our expert market knowledge and full service package. We make it easier for retailers to sell books and publishers to find the route to our markets. We trade with retailers across many sectors – from multiple high street retailers to specialist one off gift shops and visitor attractions. We partner nationwide chains in both the high street and out of town developments as well as our extensive coverage of the UK garden centre market. Department Stores, warehouse clubs and heritage sites share in our book expertise. We also have in-depth experience in the supermarkets. This spread allows us to be at the forefront of what is happening in books and allows us to develop the markets we serve to the benefit of all. With this we still focus on each retailer individually so that their book offering is pertinent to their specific market and complementary to their wider product offering.
