Scolmore International has picked up three prestigious Supplier of the Year awards in recent weeks, from some of the industry’s leading buying groups.

The company picked up the first Supplier of the Year Award from MIDA at the buying group’s annual GALA which this year took place in Budapest. This was followed up with the acceptance of the Supplier of the Year title at the AIEW 2024 awards ceremony which took place as part at AIEW’s annual trade show. Completing the trio of awards was the highest recognition from AWEBB which saw Scolmore win the Supplier of the Year award for the third year running.

In each case, the awards are voted for by buying group members and are designed to recognise and celebrate excellence in customer service and to take into account a range of measures including price competitiveness, field sales support, stock availability and product quality.

Kevin Beech, Managing Director, Scolmore Group, commented: “We are delighted to have received these awards and would like to thank all the members from across the three buying groups for their votes and continued support. These awards represent the hard work, dedication, and innovation of our entire team. We have a steadfast commitment to providing top-quality products and services to our customers, and receiving these awards reaffirms our efforts to drive growth and excellence across the electrical industry.”
