Welsh food service provider Just Perfect Catering Ltd is celebrating double success with a top industry award.
The Bridgend-based company was named Food & Drink Champion of the Year at the 2024 Wales Food & Drink Awards for its passionate support of the sector.
JPC works with leading global companies to deliver a spectrum of workplace catering solutions, including tailored high-end fine dining experiences. The independent food service provider offers clients a complete package, including workplace kitchens, coffee shops, staff restaurant design and service, and bespoke menus through its extensive ‘one-stop-shop’ range of services.
Pioneers in their field, joint managing directors Louise and David Owens founded the company in 2009 with a conscious focus on bringing local and regional produce to workplace dining.
David Owens comments: “Louise and I are brimming with pride and gratitude for this honour. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients for their trust in our catering and hospitality services, to our dedicated teams for their relentless efforts, and to our exceptional supply chain partners for their unwavering support.
“Fifteen years ago, we embarked on a journey with a sharp vision: to establish a company committed to supporting local farming families and producers in our catering endeavours.
“This was long before the local sourcing concept became widespread and before the term ”circular economy” gained any traction, and we were told it would never work.
“We pressed on, fuelled by our unwavering belief in the unparalleled quality of Welsh products and producers and the goal of saving our farming communities. This is now more important than ever as without them, Wales wouldn’t have world-leading produce.”
The Wales Food & Drink Champion accolade comes at a time of rapid expansion for JPC, which has won contracts with six high-profile clients across Wales and created 60 new jobs in recent months.
