Finding “TheRightInfo” for food, drink and retail

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

In the GCW University Library at Brayford Pool campus, you can find the latest copy of ’The Grocer: directory of manufacturers and suppliers‘ (at shelf mark 664.0025 gro in the Reference Collection). But now, students at all campuses can benefit from this specialist food-industry manufacturing and retail resource online, through the Grocer’s parent site, TheRightInfo Directories.

TheRightInfo Directories provide a…

“Searchable online business directory, containing thousands of company profiles, contacts, brands, and products for more than 27,000 UK companies in the grocery, manufacturing and retail industries. Includes access to The Grocer Directory of Manufacturers & Suppliers, The Retail & Shopping Centre Directory, Food Manufacture Directory and British Baker Directory.”

You can access TheRightInfo Directories, on- or off-campus, through the University Portal. Only one user may access the site at any one time, and access is controlled by a username & password which will be changed regularly.

This is a potentially very useful online resource for students on the degree in Food Manufacture at Holbeach Campus.
