Our Awards
Midwest Foods has been recognised through several awards. Some of the awards we have received, offer proof to both our customers and business peers that we are leaders in our industry, as well as in our community.
In November 2011 Midwest Foods has again taken out the National Award for Country Member of the Year at the Countrywide Australasia Gala Awards Evening held on The Gold Coast in front of 400 guests from the Foodservice Industry. This was the fourth time in the last five years that Midwest Foods have received this award. The Countrywide Network is Australia's largest national group of independent foodservice distributors. Countrywide has the support of Australia's largest food manufacturers as well as its own brands of quality products. Damien Mahon and Toni Alderdice the Directors of Midwest Foods (pictured below) accepted the award on behalf of their business. Toni Alderdice said that "This award is great recognition for the whole team at Midwest Foods from the foodservice industry as well as a strong vote of confidence from the recognised countrywide suppliers we deal with. To have won this award on a consistent basis over the last 5 years underlines the strength of our team to get the job done"
In 2008 Midwest Foods was awarded the Gold Rhino Award from the Dubbo Chamber of Commerce for the Best Dubbo Business. With over 700 nominated businesses this truly was a high point for Midwest Foods!
