Filshill celebrates major milestone in style

As part of its 150th anniversary the Scottish wholesaler is aiming to raise £150,000 for a number of charities while championing key issues for the business

JW Filshill is celebrating this major milestone with a series of activities all centred around the theme of ‘delivering success’. As part of this, Filshill directors, colleagues, customers, suppliers, family and friends will be taking part in this year’s Kiltwalk, Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event. They will join more than 178,000 others to take to the streets of Glasgow on 27 April. Their presence will represent Kiltwalk’s largest ever corporate attendance since it began in 2016.

CEO Simon Hannah said: “Celebrating 150 years is an incredible milestone for the Filshill family. It’s a moment to reflect on our heritage while looking ahead with ambition and purpose. ‘Delivering Success’ captures our dedication to sustainability, technology, community, and wellbeing as we shape the future for the next generations of the Filshill family and beyond.”

The charities supported by Filshill were chosen by staff, and represent large demographics of the communities they serve. These are: CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland, Dementia Scotland, Cancer Research UK, MND Scotland, SSPCA (Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and GroceryAid.

In addition to fundraising, Filshill’s Delivering Success activities will champion some of the wholesaler’s key focuses for the future which are sustainability, innovation, community and wellbeing.
