Industry conference ‘Destination 2026’ is returning for a second year, as it brings together the wholesale channel for a look at the future of the wholesale industry.
The conference was conceptualised by Clare Bocking, MD at Immediate Impact, and had a successful first year with ‘Destination 2025’ where over £67,000 was raised for Mines Advisory Group (MAG), a charity that has long been supported by the wholesale industry.
The ‘Destination 2026’ conference will take place on the 21st of January, at the Coton Centre, and will focus on the topic of “Leading For Good: Profit and Purpose”.
Speakers on the day include key senior representatives from Booker, Central Co-op, Morrisons, BidCorp, Caterforce, Women in Wholesale, TWC and many more – with a jam-packed programme that will cover global economics and market projections, how reputation shapes long-term success and how building global and local communities leads to more purposeful commerce.

Clare Bocking, managing director at Immediate Impact comments: “After last year’s conference, where those in the wholesale industry had a chance to inspire, learn and laugh together, it made complete sense to bring the event back for a second year, with the support of the wonderful team at Cirkle. This year, our line-up of speakers is even bigger, and we hope to continue to motivate attendees – all whilst raising valuable funds in aid of MAG.”
Debbie Robinson, chief executive of Central Co-op comments: “Last year’s Destination event brought together some of the brightest minds in the wholesale industry to collaborate on new and inspired thinking. By fostering both global and local communities, we can drive more purposeful commerce and create a lasting impact. I look forward to sharing some insights from Central Co-op’s journey, and learning from each other to build a stronger, more connected industry.”
