I have no love for Halfords at the best of times.
Even without such actions being potentially illegal, this is particularly offensive behaviour:
"The retailer recently sent letters to its suppliers asking them to pay up to 10pc of their annual sales with Halfords to help fund the company’s £100m store modernisation programme. This effectively amounts to a rebate on already agreed contractual payments,"
"Matt Davies, chief executive of Halfords, claimed the payments are “voluntary”, but at the same time admitted that suppliers who do not contribute “reduce their likelihood of doing business with us”.
