In 2023 JJ Foodservice has more than doubled its business with education caterers from £5m in 2022 to £12m now.
Jo Heuston, commercial marketing manager at NUS, said: “We are delighted to be able to collaborate with JJ Foodservice to offer members competitive prices on key products which can be ordered online, quickly, and easily from the website and app. The early feedback has been positive.”
The company serves over 100,000 registered customers from various sectors, including restaurants, pubs, schools, universities, NHS, hotels, local authorities and households.
Recent customers include the University of Manchester which switched to using JJ Foodservice as its primary supplier for both café and bar kitchen operations.
Head chef Sebastian Schmidt added: “We had been struggling to find a supplier that ticked all the boxes on quality, price and reliability – but after hearing about JJ Foodservice during an NUS Catering catch-up, we decided to give them a try.
“We were particularly impressed with the price and quality of the products, along with the ability to speak to a real person and form a proper working relationship. Both the chefs and customers have been equally impressed with the quality of products across all categories. Our favourites are the chicken fillets and squid pieces – I highly recommend them.”
