JJ Foodservice seeks more suppliers through Future Partners programme

JJ Foodservice is calling on food, drink, cleaning and packaging suppliers to apply for its Future Partners programme.

Future Partners is a free initiative designed to connect prospective partners with JJ buyers at this year’s JJ Connect conference.

Following a successful debut in 2025, Future Partners is returning as the wholesaler continues to expand its range and open new branches across the UK.

This year, JJ Connect takes place on 9 October at Convene, Bishopsgate, London.

The conference, themed ‘The New Food Landscape’, will be chaired by hospitality expert Simon Stenning, CEO of Future Foodservice. It will feature exclusive market insights from Circana, supplier success stories, and Speed Connecting sessions with JJ’s buying team.

Suppliers can register their interest via a free online application form, and shortlisted suppliers will be invited to take part in Speed Connecting sessions.

Sezer Ozkul, chief product officer at JJ Foodservice, said: “Our customers are changing and so is the way people eat. We’re growing into new markets including hotels, home delivery and retail, and we need the right partners alongside us.

“Future Partners is our way of opening the door to suppliers who share our ambition – whether they’re an established brand or a brilliant small producer with something different to offer. If you think you belong in our range, we want to hear from you.”
