Peter Grant Papers recognised for innovation

Peter Grant Papers is celebrating after winning the Innovation Award at the inaugural Makro Pro-Caterer Awards. The award recognised Peter Grant Papers’ contribution to the development of new, attention-grabbing packaging for the retailer’s own brand range of professional paper products.
SIX APPEAL
These are just six of our best-selling cleaning chemicals – all of which are guaranteed to give you the results you demand as a professional carpet, upholstery and floor cleaner.
Prochem chemicals have a worldwide reputation for outstanding performance in the professional, commercial and institutional cleaning sectors.
Specialist products cover a whole range of requirements for carpets, fabrics, floors and surface cleaning technologies and maintenance.
Formulations are developed in-house to meet strict performance, safety, quality and environmental criteria.
Prochem Europe chemicals are available from a network of selected distributors offering local supply, advice and training.
Sales and marketing director, Paul Weddle, who received the award, said: “I had no idea we were going to win and so was delighted. It’s a real testament to hard work and our team’s commitment to finding and delivering the solutions our customers need. It was a wonderful evening; thank you to Makro for recognising our contribution and thank you to the team for developing a new approach and making it a reality.” The packaging of Makro’s own brand professional paper products was clear plastic, which allowed little scope for creativity and provided limited protection to the product inside. Makro wanted to increase the differentiation of the product range at the same time as improving the resilience of the packaging in order to minimise the risk of damage to the product in transit and storage. It turned to Peter Grant Papers for a solution.
Working closely with Makro, one of the UK’s leading cash and carry wholesalers, the Peter Grant Papers team created a new tray to hold the product and enclosed it in an opaque, tough wrap with a lifelike image of the product printed on the top. Makro’s customers responded well and sales sky rocketed. Explaining the rationale for launching the awards and why Peter Grant Papers won, Jason McDonald, buyer at Makro, said: “We launched the awards to celebrate the best of the best in the catering profession at the same time as thanking our suppliers for their commitment and contribution in recent years. Peter Grant Papers had made the best effort with regard to product innovation, in particular using their industry expertise to advise us on a number of areas including specifications and packaging. Their attentiveness and attention to detail meant the whole launch process was smooth and took place on time and budget.”

resourceUK, working in part- nership with the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE), has acknowledged staff development through the presentation and award of a new bespoke NVQ. The bespoke NVQ certification was presented to all team members of the ‘Bus stop, shelter cleaning and mainte- nance’ team at Rotherham Interchange.
The NVQ is the result of resourceUK identifying and acknowledging customer needs through the research and analysis of individual feedback, which provides staff with the necessary skills and experience to deliver consistently high quality services.
Tony Hall, service delivery manager at resourceUK, said: “We believe that public transport users are entitled to a clean, safe environment that is supported by up-to-
date information when commencing their journey - the resourceUK Bus stop shelter team plays a major role in this provision. Through this we recognised the need to deliver a quality service through efficiencies that acknowledge customer needs by applying a regime that demonstrates innovation through market best practice.”
Dave Whittle of SYPTE said: “This is the first qualification of its kind in the country; the development by resourceUK, in response to SYPTE’s particular requirements to ensure customers receive a consistently high quality experience, stand as testament to the
commitment resourceUK shows to the partnership with SYPTE, and the shared ethos of ‘recruit for attitude, train for skills’.”
