Woolworths New Zealand has announced the winners of its annual Supplier Awards, which was held last week.
Woolworths Annual Supplier Awards recognise partnership, excellence, and innovation in the New Zealand food and grocery industry.
Over 350 attendees from across the country gathered at the celebratory event held in Auckland on the 24th of October, 2024. Twenty awards were given to some of the country’s most well-known and up-and-coming brands.
MCoBeauty, one of the fastest-growing brands on Woolworths’ shelves, was recognised as Small Supplier of the Year. The brand’s innovation was particularly noted, with over 240 new products launched in the last year alone.
Willowtree Produce won the award for Fresh Supreme Supplier of the Year for its work delivering differentiated fruit products that produced exceptional results across the tropical fruit categories.
Packaged Supreme Supplier of the Year went to Griffin’s Snacks. Their collaborative approach and commitment to delivering the best results for customers were highlighted as reasons for the win.
Woolworths New Zealand’s Commercial Director, Pieter De Wet, said that both Supreme Supplier of the Year winners were incredible partners to Woolworths, and their hard work day in and day out to supply fantastic products to New Zealanders was inspiring.
“We’re lucky to work with hundreds of amazing supply partners across the country and the world. Both Willowtree Produce and Griffin’s Snacks represent the best of the best,” said De Wet.
“Our Awards night is an extraordinary occasion that acknowledges the incredible work that happens every day in our industry. On behalf of Woolworths, I want to thank all of our partners for their ongoing dedication and support of our business, and especially congratulate our 2024 award winners.”
