“(Tanya’s presentation at the Unitas Conference Vilamoura 24 was the) best presentation of the day. Really hit the spot for wholesalers & suppliers alike 👏

Ben Cooper

National Account Controller Wholesale, Swizzels

“TWC Group is our data partner for reporting wholesale shipments out of depot so it was natural to ask them to develop an online solution to sit aside our existing data infrastructure. They have done a fantastic job for us, in super quick time.”
Chris Gallacher

Managing Director, UWS

“We have worked closely with TWC to evolve the SPAR Scotland SalesTrack service over the last couple of years and TWC shares our vision for a sector that is data-led, making them the perfect partner for our evolving data needs.”
