Whenever you consume a KFC twister in one of 760 outlets across Australia, you’re supporting a regional business that proudly calls Maryborough home.
True Foods, a family-owned regional manufacturer based in Maryborough, has clinched the KFC Supplier of the Year award.
This accolade is a testament to the company’s commitment to product quality, exceptional customer service, sustainability and ethical work practices, in delivering more than 14 million wraps to KFC outlets each year.
According to True Foods managing director Mark Thurlow, KFC, with its extensive network of over 400 suppliers and a workforce exceeding 50,000 across Australia, recognizes only the best in the industry.
He also expressed his pride and gratitude for the award.
“We have been a proud partner of KFC for the past eight years, and this award highlights the strength and success of our long-standing relationship,” Mr Thurlow said.
“I am so proud of what our team achieves in many areas.
“Throughout our lives, we have each faced various personal challenges, this award proves that when we come together, we can consistently outperform large multinationals — it is inspiring to be surrounded by so many capable and passionate people, who bring a can-do attitude to work each day.”
This recognition, Mr Thurlow said, not only underscores the company’s current success but also sets a promising trajectory for the future.
“Employing more than 300 people locally, True Foods continues to expand its presence in both the retail and food service segments, with exciting opportunities and new product releases on the horizon later this year,” he said.
“We have so many great opportunities sitting in front of us, and we are investing in our people and our facility to build a strong and stable future in our home-town
“[We hope our] achievement serves as an inspiration to regional manufacturers and family businesses across the country, proving that with determination and passion, they too can make a significant impact in the industry.”
