Foodstuffs Annual National Partnership Awards took place on August 29th at Te Pae Christchurch. Boring Milk, All Good, Fonterra, and Zeta Group won the four national categories for innovation, sustainability, partnership and own brands partnership, respectively.
"We felt it was important to continue to recognise our 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," said Chris Quin, CEO of Foodstuffs North Island.
258 Foodstuffs suppliers came together for the event and saw 12 awards presented under category excellence and national awards. The complete list of winners is below.
"Our national awards are a true recognition of supplier excellence, from driving sustainable change in Aotearoa to pushing the creative boundaries of our FMCG industry. These winners are outstanding in the work they do," said Mary Devine, CEO of Foodstuffs South Island.
"We're a young company, only one year old, so to win this award is a testament to the mahi we've done and the support we receive from Foodstuffs. We're really proud to work alongside them on our journey," said Morgan Maw from Boring Milk.
"To win the National Partnership Award is a true testament to the work we put into our relationship with Foodstuffs. The award is a recognition of the true end-to-end effort within the FBNZ business, and every business unit has had a part to play in delivering these great results," said Guy Blaikie from Fonterra.
