Boring Milk, Fonterra top winners list in Foodstuffs supplier awards
Shop! ANZ member Fonterra, Boring Milk, All Good and Zeta Group won the four national category honours for innovation, sustainability, partnership and own brands partnership in this year’s Foodstuffs National Partnership Awards.
The Foodstuffs National Partnership Award went to dairy cooperative Fonterra which was recognised for its “consistent communication of challenges and opportunities through disrupted times, as well as a strong willingness to engage and collaborate, resulting in great new products for Foodstuffs customers”.
Foodstuffs presented 12 awards under two main categories: category excellence in each of the grocery cooperative’s North and South Island businesses, and national recognition.
The awards were announced at Te Pae Christchurch where 258 Foodstuffs suppliers from 47 supplier companies gathered to recognise their integral role in providing Foodstuffs customers with the best shopping experience.
Chris Quin, CEO of Foodstuffs North Island, said the co-op believes it is essential to recognise supplier partners. “Through some of New Zealand’s toughest Covid weeks, for many of our customers just being able to get their groceries was the one constant. It’s something that made a very real difference to our customers, and we should all be proud of the part we each played.”
