Independently to CT-UK's proposal, TRU Purchase Analysis Department (TRUPAD) have identified some other potential seasonal summer special goods that may be considered to increase revenue. These include three categories: Outdoor family fun sport equipment (garden games, toys, racket games, cricket etc). Swimming pools (all equipment for a variety of folding summer swimming pools). Limited Range of cycles and cycling associated paraphernalia (enough to equip a family of four with a reasonable hybrid or mountain bike). TRU had not previously considered camping equipment, but the management team all agree to add camping equipment to the list of potential ranges to be sold.

Brian Reynolds (Buyer) has worked at TRU in the purchasing and supply department for seven years and will now manage all aspects of the introduction of the new seasonal lines. Although very experienced in many aspects of purchasing to stock the TRU Hardware centres, Brian has not previously dealt with Multinational Businesses as he specialised in scouting local suppliers for their goods building strong relationships and building on trust. He can be a little scatty and disorganised but is renowned as being friendly, honourable and "always comes through in the end".

These objectives are:
