Scottish food and drink wholesaler, JW Filshill, is marking its 150th anniversary this year with a raft of activity based around the Delivering Success theme.
The company aims to raise £150,000 for six charities which represent large demographics of the communities they serve as part of its anniversary celebrations. Chosen by Filshill staff, the charities are CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland), Dementia Scotland, Cancer Research UK, MND Scotland, SSPCA (Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and GroceryAid.
150 Filshill directors, colleagues, customers, suppliers and family members will take part in the Kiltwalk, Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event with over 178,000 people taking part since 2016. On 27 April in Glasgow, the company’s involvement will represent the Kiltwalk’s largest-ever corporate attendance.
During its anniversary year, the wholesaler will also ramp up its commitment to corporate technology within the business and seek innovative solutions to boost efficiency across the business, including AI.
Simon Hannah, CEO, said: “Celebrating 150 years is an incredible milestone for the Filshill family. Delivering Success captures our dedication to sustainability, technology, community and wellbeing as we shape the future for the next generations of the Filshill family and beyond.
“This year isn’t just about celebrating where we’ve come from – it’s about demonstrating our commitment to ‘Delivering Success’ for our people, customers and communities.”
