Mannok celebrated success at three separate awards ceremonies on 29th September, on either side of the Irish Sea, including being honoured as the IBC’s ‘Supplier of the Year’ at the merchant group’s inaugural conference.
The company’s winning streak started at the Lean Business Ireland Awards, scooping the ‘Off to the Best Start’ category following the launch of its Operational Excellence strategy earlier this year. Meanwhile, at the Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards — an awards programme led by Deloitte in association with Bank of Ireland — Mannok was recognised for the second year in a row.
Its successful evening continued on the other side of the Irish Sea at the inaugural IBC Buying Group Awards in Northamptonshire, winning the Supplier of the Year accolade. The event’s awards celebrated the most innovative and successful partnerships between IBC members and suppliers over the past year, with Mannok triumphing for its “innovation, effective communication and customer service” with both IBC members and the IBC team.
Lee Gillman, GB Sales and Marketing Director, said: “We are very honoured to receive this award which is a testament to our innovation, leadership and transparency to build long-lasting supportive trading relationships with independent merchants. In challenging times, Mannok’s Key Account Manager, Sales and Dispatch teams have worked very closely with IBC and its members to mitigate risk and ensure transparency through strong forward planning, collaboration and open communications, informing members of any supply challenges or price changes, and keeping them updated throughout.
“I would like to congratulate everyone in the Mannok team and our Key Account Manager, Ryan Tabb, for their excellent service, being flexible in their approach, supporting IBC and its members in every way possible and helping us have such a strong reputation in the builders’ merchant industry.”
