It was fantastic to welcome Bexley Mayor Cllr Ahmet Dourmoush and Mayoress Mrs Elmaz Dourmoush, to our JJ Foodservice Sidcup branch this week!

Our Sidcup Branch Manager, Iskren Mitkov, showed the Mayor and Mayoress around our warehouse to explore our wide produce range, including fresh meats and local vegetables.
Mr Mayor even tried out our electric vehicles (don't worry, it was turned off at the time)!

It was fantastic to learn about the great work the Mayor is doing to support local businesses and charities in the area, including organising a sponsored fish and chips day for the residents of Hayley House Belvedere, generously donated by Anchor F&C in Albany Park.
The Mayor is also supporting Bexley Voice, a voluntary organisation of parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, among many other charitable causes.
Branch Tour and Birthday Celebrations
JJ Foodservice will be sponsoring prizes at the Mayor's upcoming Charity Sunday Roast on October 8th to raise money for the Centrepieces Mental Health Arts Project in Bexley.
The Mayors visit coincided with his birthday – so our team organised a small birthday celebration with our very own LetsDough Devil's Fudge Cake, pictured above.

Meeting the Mayor and the Mayoress was an honour for us, and we look forward to working with them in the future to raise JJ's profile with Local Authorities and community projects.
Keep up the fantastic local support!
