About TK&Co
TK & Co is a Māori and Pacific-owned consulting practice specialising in Fresh Produce and FMCG route-to-market growth.
With over 17 years of experience across buying, sales, logistics, grading, packing and retail supply, we work with produce businesses to identify where profit is being lost across day-to-day operations — then implement practical systems to recover it.
Our work focuses on improving:
-
Buying discipline and supplier pricing
-
Grading consistency and wastage control
-
Labour allocation and operational flow
-
Store-level sales execution
-
Shelf space and ranging strategy
-
Channel expansion through new routes to market
If your turnover is growing but GP isn’t — this is exactly what we solve.
Where we improve your profitablity?
Buying + Supplier Strategy
Improve landed cost control through better supplier negotiation, buying discipline and pricing alignment — protecting margin before product even reaches your floor.
Route-To-Market Expansion
Identify and build new customer channels across retail, independents and foodservice — without discounting your way into volume
Win More Shelf Space
Improve ranging conversations, promotional planning and in-store execution to protect shelf space and increase sell-through at store level.
Reduce Wastage. Improve Throughput
Tighten grading standards and improve pack flow to reduce rework, control waste and ensure labour is spent where it actually improves output and GP.
