BEST INDIVIDUAL ELECTRICAL WHOLESALE BRANCH Presented by Nigel Birch Head of UK Sales, from category sponsor, Contactum.
Joint Highly Commended: Electric Center (Walthamstow) and A W Electrical Supplies (Enfield). Winner: Amble Electrical Distributors (Luton)
Paul Morrish of Electric Center was nominated by his staff at Walthamstow branch. They were very complimentary about their branch manager and believe he fully deserves this award. The judges particularly noted Paul’s positive leadership capabilities and also his performance record, using the training he has undertaken to completely turn around a branch that had been previously underperforming.
TRAINING EXCELLENCE AWARD
Presented by Thomas Belaisch, Vice President of Partner Retail Business, from category sponsor, Schneider Electric Joint Winners: Jolanta Brocka and Oliver Burness of Newey & Eyre
In another very close category, Amble’s Luton branch won the “Best Individual Branch” accolade for the second year in a row. Judges highlighted Amble’s extensive work within the community as well as their service initiatives. Voters also commented on the efficiency of service, reliability and staff knowledge.
The judges selected Jolanta and Oliver for this year’s Training Excellence Award based on their drive, ambition and how they implement these qualities into improving their trade knowledge and qualifications, particularly in the area of customer service. The panel look forward to seeing how their careers develop in the coming years as they demonstrate great promise.
