The prestigious title was awarded to him by the Belgian trade association Gondola. Marc Lanneau was honoured both by a jury of experts and in a public vote.

Award belongs to all employees

"I am delighted to receive this award. It proves that we are on the right track in the further development of the important food service business. At the same time, it is important for me to emphasise that this award recognises the work of all Conway employees who are involved in our food service activities," said Marc Lanneau.

Against the backdrop of far-reaching changes - such as increasing bans and restrictions on the sale of tobacco products - the foodservice business plays an important role for future growth in the Belgian market, alongside traditional wholesale. In order to optimally serve the needs of existing and new customers, Conway recently opened a new warehouse for chilled and frozen products.

Its strength lies in the combination of wholesale expertise, logistics and personalised customer service, true to its own claim of being "Your most convenient partner".

Conway supports catering businesses in the implementation of their concepts - from product selection to logistics. The company observes market trends, develops new ideas together with its customers and draws on a broad network of manufacturers and partners. The aim is to react flexibly to changes and offer customised solutions.
