International trade recognised at Suma
Suma Wholefoods, the trading name for the Triangle Wholefoods Collective, has won a Queen’s Award in the International trade category.
The company was awarded for its strong, continued growth in international sales, as well as its “co-operative ethos and great employment benefits”.
Stephen Newton, part of Suma’s international sales team, said: “We’re really thrilled at the amazing growth of our international sales and that we can make delicious, ethical vegetarian food available to a wider audience than ever.
“By winning this award we’re proud to show that our worker co-operative, where each member gets equal pay and an equal say in the business, can hold its own against the big players in international trade.”
