NATIONAL: Cooper Watkinson Textiles (CWT) has severed accounts with over 200 customers in an effort to concentrate on larger bulk orders.
The Auckland-headquartered wholesaler has introduced a minimum spend requirement of $10,000 over a 12 month period applicable to all customers. CWT Sydney manager Lisa Stubbs said the minimum was introduced in early 2010 as a result of logistic concerns surrounding the servicing of a large number of small accounts. The reduced willingness and capacity of CWT’s suppliers to fulfil small orders also played a part in the introduction of the $10,000 minimum, Stubbs revealed.
