Midland Lead has been selected as the h&b Group’s Supplier of the Year 2018, after winning the ‘Peter Buttle Supplier of the Year award’, named after the buying group’s founder.
It was announced at the h&b Group annual Activity Event which was held at The Belfry earlier this month. After triumphing over other Roofing and Insulation suppliers in its own category, Midland Lead went on to win the overall award beating the five finalist suppliers nominated by their own select expert product panels.
Lynn Street, Midland Lead’s Sales and Marketing Manager, was at the conference to receive the award and said: “I am hugely proud of this achievement for our company. The last nine months have seen a lot of positive changes for Midland Lead and the award is another indication that we are continuing to move in the right direction.
“We have a great sales team that drives the company forward but sales contact is only a part of a much larger package. We strive to show that the ability to provide excellent customer service exists within us all at Midland Lead.”
She continued: “By understanding each other’s job roles, teams respect one another, while still being able to manage customers’ expectations. This enables us to keep the chain of production to supply running smoothly. It is fantastic to see the results of our hard work being recognised by the merchant sector and we look forward to continuing to develop our relationship with the h&b Group for many years to come.”
h&b Group Managing Director, Steve Parkins, added: “Midland Lead is well-deserving of the Peter Buttle Supplier of the Year title. It’s an honourable company that has maintained a strong relationship with the group since 2009 and the award recognises the strength of our alliance.”
