About JJ Food Service
The company was formed in 1988 by Mustafa Kiamil, then a restaurateur who spotted a gap in the market for North London eateries like his who needed a more efficient food and drink supplier. His competitively-priced products and quality service ensured JJ became a big hit with customers. Indeed the demand far-exceeded North London prompting the business to expand beyond its Enfield base.
In 2014, JJ won The Grocer Gold Medal Wholesaler of the Year Award, beating a host of other major foodservice companies including Booker and Bidvest 3663. In the same year, the business was included in the Sunday Times Top Track 250 as one of the UK`s fastest growing SMEs.
