What Our Customers' Think

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation

JJ is proudly a nominated supplier to Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) Framework. This is a procurement service that enables public sector customers such as schools and local authorities to benefit from cost and efficiency savings through bulk buying.

"JJ won some of the largest foodservice opportunities on our YPO framework. This provides strong evidence that JJ has offered a combination of great prices and a comprehensive service that appeals to our customers." – Steve Sefton, Procurement Partner, YPO

National Union of Students

JJ Foodservice is an approved framework food and drink supplier for all NUS members, providing Students' Unions with access to top-quality ingredients and a wide product range.

Here's what Students' Unions already partnered with JJ Foodservice have to say:

"Since we agreed our contract with JJ Foodservice, it's been a very smooth process. The range of products JJ offers covers every aspect of catering supplies we need. Deliveries are always punctual, and our ordes are well packaged making it easy for our catering teams to unload.

Our partnership with JJ has enabled us to increase our product range almost weekly, providing Leeds Students Union with a wider variety of choice on their menus." - Ian, Leeds Students Union

"Balancing quality with the right price, while offering value can be tough; especially when you're building menus for SU's. But, when Mark from JJ came along, it was refreshing to talk food with someone who truly understood our needs. He reviewed our stock reports, menus and portion costings, to do some hefty comparisons to offer us the best possible products at the best price available.

Switching key lines including beef burgers, fresh chicken, brioche buns, vegan buns, skin on fries, oil drums, pizza sauce and chicken strips, has saved us around 25% per term without compromising on product quality. I'm extremely happy with JJ Foodservice - give them a challenge and see what they can do for you." - Lee Solloway, Warwick Students Union

"From the delivery drivers to getting in touch with our rep, Mark, everyone at JJ is there when you need them with no complications. We order online using the website and app - it's so quick and easy to place orders and amend them on the rare occasion we need to. The requested delivery times and email reminders make my job easier as I will always know when my order is due and helps me to plan ahead, even if they are slightly delayed!

After using JJ Foodservice for a year now, I can gladly say that we would recommend them to anyone." - Kristie Staley, Preston Students Union
