National wholesaler JJ Food Service scooped the Digital Innovation Award last night at the Federation of Wholesale Distributor’s (FWD) annual Awards at Old Billingsgate Market, London.

Judges praised JJ’s predictive ordering App and website, and the launch of CentralDish, a restaurant review platform, which allows diners to search for the best meals in their local area.

Chief Operating Office for JJ Food Service, Mushtaque Ahmed, (pictured) said, "Speed of service is absolutely vital to our caterers and with the new website and App, we have reduced the time it takes to place orders by an average of 20%. We are thrilled to have won and would like to thank our talented in-house team, our loyal customers and suppliers, and of course the FWD Judges.”

The FWD Gold Awards were launched to recognise and reward excellence in the wholesale channel and is attended by 800 guests from the UK’s top wholesalers, cash & carries and manufacturers.
