BESTWAY WHOLESALE has announced a £10 million investment to reduce prices on more than 2,000 core lines.

The price cuts, which are not part of any promotion, will take immediate effect and are aimed at supporting independent retailers across the UK.


The company said the move comes during its 50th anniversary year and is intended to help retailers manage cost pressures and improve margins.

Dawood Pervez, managing director at Bestway Wholesale, said: “We know our customers are under pressure – and we’re taking decisive, long-term action. This isn’t a one-off deal. It’s a real investment in the day-to-day success of the independent retail sector. By lowering our core prices, we’re helping retailers strengthen their margins and stay competitive where it really matters.”

The £10 million investment will cover all categories, focusing on everyday essentials. Bestway said the changes will be communicated through depot signage, digital platforms, newsletters, and leaflets.

Pervez added: “At Bestway, our success is built on our customers’ success. This investment shows we’re listening… we’re acting … and we’re standing shoulder to shoulder with independents across the country.”

UK plans 25% training cost increase for older apprentices to boost youth hiring

  • Employers could be required to pay 25 per cent of training costs for apprentices aged 25 and over.
  • The proposed change is intended to reverse a 40 per cent decline in youth apprenticeship starts over the past decade.
  • Ministers are considering a phased introduction from September 2027, although the plan has not been finalised.

Employers in England could face higher training costs for older apprentices under government plans to steer more businesses towards hiring and training young people, as ministers try to tackle the youth jobs crisis.

The proposed overhaul of the growth and skills levy would require employers to cover 25 per cent of eligible training costs for apprentices aged 25 and over, while funding would remain available for apprentices aged 16 to 24. The change is being considered as part of the government's response to a review into why so many young people are out of work.
