Abstract
National wholesaler, JJ Foodservice has defied ‘economic uncertainty’ with a 14% boost in turnover from April to December 2019, compared with the same period in the previous year.
Orders have increased by 13% and the number of cases sold has risen 10%.
JJ Foodservice’s performance contrasts with the UK foodservice wholesale market, which has experienced a minimal growth over the past 12 months and it is expected to grow by just 1.2% by 2023 (IGD 2019 research).
Edward Lanham, chief finance officer for JJ Foodservice, said: “Our focus has been on investing in technology to improve service and maintain high availability. Our focus in 2020 will be to continue delivering a first-class experience and high-quality products to customers.”
Last summer JJ Foodservice launched delivery alerts, which have helped to improve their service by notifying customers when their order has been dispatched.
