Mannok picked up four awards recognising their products and their service to the merchant industry.
The four awards are:
The NBG Supplier Awards is an annual event, usually held alongside their annual conference, that celebrates the achievements of the buying group’s suppliers.
Partners voted for the Supplier of the Year in each of NBG’s eight Category Management Teams (CMTs), as well as Product of the Year and Brand of the Year in both the heavyside and lightside sectors. However, this year a brand-new category was added, and Partners were asked to vote for their NBG Lockdown Hero.
In addition to the four awards, Mannok, which was formerly known as Quinn, was runner-up in the Brick and Block Supplier of the Year category and came in third place in the Roofing and Insulation Supplier of the Year category.
Speaking of the company’s success at the awards, GB Sales Director, Lee Gillman, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be recognised by NBG in this way, particularly in such a challenging year for the industry.
“Each one of these awards means a great deal to us, and reassures us that we are doing right by our customers, both in terms of the products we’re producing and the service we’re providing.
“Given the unprecedented challenges 2020 has presented, to receive the newest award at this year’s event, Lockdown Hero, is a very special achievement for us. Like every other business, we’ve had to adapt in any way we could to service our customers safely, and the whole team have worked incredibly hard to ensure we support our customers throughout.
“To have this hard work and commitment acknowledged by our customers in this way is a fantastic achievement, and the entire Mannok team deserve to be congratulated for their commitment, agility and “can do” attitude which they’ve demonstrated in spades this year. We’re incredibly proud.”
Mannok’s success at the 2020 NBG Awards comes just weeks after the announcement of an extended exclusivity deal for Mannok’s Master Grade Cement which will give NBG customers access in the GB market to the award-winning product until the end of 2024, extending the current partnership by three years.
NBG’s Kerry Kincade congratulated Mannok on their achievements and spoke of the strong partnership the buying group have with the company, saying: “NBG and Mannok have a strong partnership, built on trust, honesty and great service and supply. Both parties are dedicated to growing the relationship, we are continually looking for ways to develop and secure new business together.
“In this new world we have done exactly that, we have adapted and maintained the relationship. We look forward to the future with Mannok!”
The company also won the Most Innovative Use of Technology Award in recognition of their new Digital Skills Development Programme, at the Ireland’s HR Leadership and Management Awards 2020. This was a hotly contested category featuring giants such as LinkedIn and Vodafone Ireland among the contenders.
