JW Filshill was the big winner at the Scottish Wholesale Achievers awards last night, scooping four accolades plus the top title, Champion of Champions.

The Glasgow-based wholesaler won Best Symbol Group, Best Delivered Operation (Retail) and Best Marketing Initiative. Fiona Ritchie, the company’s impulse buyer, was awarded Employee of the Year.

In fact, Filshill won every category it entered. “This no mean feat, given the superb overall standard and high level of competition within Achievers and the Scottish wholesale industry in general,” said the judges.

More than 460 people attended the Achievers gala dinner and awards presentation, hosted by TV presenter Jean Johansson at the Sheraton Grand, Edinburgh.
