Unitas members bring home three gold medals at this year’s FWD Gold Medal Wholesale Awards.
The winners of the FWD Gold Medal Wholesale Awards 2022 were announced last night and among the winners were three Unitas members.
The annual celebration of all things wholesale took place on November 24th at Old Billingsgate, London, celebrating the outstanding people, products and services of the last 12 months, and recognising the contribution of people in wholesale during a year of recovery and reinvention.
Unitas members led the pack with an impressive 11 nominations, and it was wholesalers JJ Foodservice, Failte Foods and AF Blakemore & Son on the night that brought home the gold!
Unitas were also proud to sponsor two supplier awards during the celebration. Premier Foodservice took home the Foodservice Brand of the Year award for Bisto, and Molson Coors Brewing Company were crowned Best New Retail Product for their Madri Excepcional launch.
Congratulations once again to this year’s winners and all the Unitas Wholesale nominated wholesalers:
