“ Every supplier is rigorously vetted through self-assessment, evidence checks, and, where appropriate, physical audits,” Antonis Cola, Quality Manager, affirms.“ Approval is not a one-off; we repeat audits annually to ensure continued compliance. This process gives us full confidence that every product meets the ethical and quality standards our customers demand.”
By upholding the highest standards of care and integrity – from its product development right through to the relationships it holds with its customers, partners, and own people – it’ s clear that Love Joes is well-positioned for a bright future. Whilst it progresses further on its ambitious growth trajectory, the much-loved brand will proceed to push the boundaries of culinary excellence, continuing to prove why it remains the trusted kitchen partner of choice to over 2500 customers across the UK.
“ We already lead in foodservice chicken concepts, but our strategy to 2029 is about cementing that leadership. That means investment in new formats, flavor profiles, and ready-to-use solutions. Technology and logistics will keep us ahead in terms of traceability and efficiency. Sustainability will differentiate us further, showing customers that responsibility is part of every delivery. By staying agile, independent, and customerfocused, Love Joes will remain the benchmark for marinated chicken,” Doulla reveals.
“ Our long-term vision is bold: to own the marinated chicken category in the UK. This is where we began, it’ s what we know best, and it’ s where we see the greatest opportunity to lead. We want Love Joes to be synonymous with quality, trust, and innovation, so when chefs think marinated chicken, we’ re the first call,” Joe concludes, optimistic for the years ahead.“ This isn’ t just growth in numbers – it’ s about building a legacy, a business our children and future generations can be proud to inherit, and a brand that defines the future of sustainable, high-quality foodservice in the UK.” ■
