WWW Group Ltd present a 3D and 6D Pictures film for the Woolworths Museum
(Music backing track). It's a big country, that we've got, part of it chilly, part of it not. It's Woolworth Country, it's Woolworth land, Woolworth Country is nothing but grand...
(Mair Barnes CBE speaking) It'll involve a lot of change, but it's positive dynamic change, the kind that drives a business forward.
(Don Sloan speaking) Woolworths is about value for money, and that means not overpaying for quality.
(Martin Toogood speaking) Our business will only be successful if we, as employees, work together as partners.
(Jim Glover speaking) So our low prices will not be just on selected lines, but across all of our merchandise.
(Leo McKee speaking) On a personal note, I've much enjoyed being Retail Director this year.
(Roger Holmes speaking) Hello, I'm Roger Holmes, and I'm delighted to have this opportunity to speak to you again. As you all know, last year was a very tough year for retailers,
...and clearly there were winners and losers. We all can take pride that Woolworths has gone from strength to strength, to take its place amongst the winners of '98.
(Roger Jones speaking) So far sales have been well above expectations. As you well know, one third of our sales comes from the eight week Christmas period;
Breaking through the 100 million pounds profits, in harnessing the massive experience across all business functions. A clear business strategy has now been formulated.
(Backing song, outro) Woolworth Country is nothing but the very latest, the greatest and the up-to-dateist, the biggest, widest country in the land. Yeh!
In memory of Roger Evelyn Jones, who passed away just before his beloved Woolworths collapsed into Administration, just ten years after he had notched up 100 million pounds profit. Rest in Peace, Roger.
