Brakes, the UK’s leading foodservice wholesaler, has won the prestigious Grocer Gold National Wholesaler of the Year award.
The sought-after accolade was awarded at the food industry’s equivalent of the ‘Oscars’ at the Royal Albert Hall on 8 July.
The judges praised Brakes for its hyper-local Your Way service, as well as the launch of Sysco brand, which has dominated the sector’s food awards, and the company’s continuing growth.
Paul Nieduszynski, CEO of Sysco GB, said:
“Being acknowledged by the industry is the perfect recognition for the job that our colleagues across the organisation have done in transforming the business.
“From the launch of Your Way to the fantastic growth of the Sysco brand and the work we’ve done on transforming our service proposition, we’ve had an immense year and I am extremely proud of what we’ve achieved. And with our new London depot, our Newhouse extension and upgrades at other depots, including Durham and Peterlee, this is just the start!”
