Asda has picked up the gong for Best National Retailer at the inaugural World Food Awards 2009, held at the London Hilton in Park Lane on 31 October.
Run by the World Foods Association(WFA), the awards aim to recognise the growing contribution of ethnic foods from around the world to the UK’s grocery sector.
Harry Dulai, of the World Foods Association said: “Our aim is simple – to ensure that ethnic food is recognised as the important sector that it is. World food is now a thriving and fast-paced industry that has long crossed over into mainstream markets.”
VB&Sons picked up the award for best Independent Retailer. The Harrow-based Indian supermarket has stores in Kenton, Wembley, Greenford and Tooting.
