"Being recognised as Grocer of the Year for the first time in nearly two decades is a moment of immense pride for everyone at Sainsbury’s. This prestigious award reflects our unwavering commitment to our customers, ensuring they receive outstanding value, unbeatable quality food and great service.

This is testament to the hard work and dedication of our brilliant colleagues, suppliers and farmers. Without them, we couldn’t achieve our purpose of making good food joyful, accessible, and affordable for everyone, every day."

“Bringing home the award for Best Health & Beauty Brand (and the magnum of Moët & Chandon) was the unexpected icing on a very large proverbial cake. We are still soaking it all in, but feeling incredibly grateful to be recognised by so many retail giants that we respect and admire. Winning this prestigious award marks a milestone in our journey as a business, accolades from The Grocer are highly respected by all our stockists - the congratulations and conversations that this award has sparked for us are priceless.”

"After multiple failed experiments and input from teams of experts, we finally cracked a more sustainable solution for delivering, collecting and refilling organic milk. This award is testament to the hard work that went into developing this UK-first packaging innovation and we couldn’t be more delighted to see this recognised by the judges. The Grocer Gold Awards are a brilliant celebration of retail innovation."
