The prestigious 2016 Singapore Business Awards (SBA) held at the Ritz-Carlton Millenia, Singapore on 31 March 2016 marked a significant milestone for JUMBO Group. We emerged the winner for The Enterprise Award, an accolade credited to small and medium-sized enterprises that have shown stellar performance in innovation, productivity, effective management and contribution to the community. Jointly organised by The Business Times and DHL, the award ceremony was graced by Guest-of-Honour President Tony Tan Keng Yam and attended by over 600 business leaders and guests.
Since our humble beginnings as a seafood restaurant at East Coast in 1987, JUMBO Group has grown over the years to now own 16 outlets in Singapore; recently expanding beyond local shores with 3 outlets in Shanghai. One of the driving factors that has greatly contributed to where we are today is the constant innovation we pour into our products and services, while keeping up with quality and providing the tantalising selection on our menus that customers are looking for. Leveraging on technology has proven to be the winning formula in coping with rising manpower and production costs - examples include developing a point of sales system 20 years ago, creating a Central Kitchen in 2008, and on-going investment in initiatives to improve cost-management and productivity.
Clinching one of the four awards given out at the SBA was an honorary achievement for JUMBO Group, and a boost of confidence in our constant quest to improve productivity through innovative methods!
AsiaOne People’s Choice Award (PCA) Ceremony was held on 21 April 2016 and JUMBO Seafood is proud to be voted as one of the top three winners in the “Best Chinese Restaurant” category, for the first time! Held at the Singapore Press Holdings Auditorium, JUMBO’s Marketing Director, Mr Ringo Chew received the award from Ms Karen Lim, Acting Editor for AsiaOne at the awards ceremony. After three months of voting, close to 200,000 votes were cast and the results reflected consumers’ favourite choices and their lifestyle preferences. This award is also an affirmation of JUMBO’s good standing in the local Food & Beverage industry and we continue to stay committed in providing quality and palatable dishes in our menus to our customers.
