BG Partner Tec Supplies Group scooped one of the bathroom retail sector’s most prestigious prizes, winning KBB Review’s
Bathroom Retailer of the Year award in its first year of operation. The Tec Lifestyle 20,000 sq ft showroom and store, part of the Tec Supplies Group in Maldon, Essex, opened in April 2016 and has drawn customers as diverse as developers, interior designers and architects, as well as home owners and tradesmen. The award judges looked at factors including business success, marketing, showroom quality, customer service and after-sales performance as well as showroom effectiveness for its target audience and unique ideas and initiative, which are demonstrated in abundance in the Tec showroom.
