Cemco names Hanson supplier of the year

Hanson UK has won its second supplier of the year award after claiming top honours at the annual Cemco Merchant Network conference.

In addition to picking up Cemco’s top award, Hanson Cement’s packed products division also won the best heavy side supplier (over £1.5 million turnover) category at the buying group’s annual supplier conference.

These awards follow closely behind the announcement that Hanson was named supplier of the year by Stent Foundations – now part of Balfour Beatty Ground Engineering – and all three recognise the company’s commitment to customer service.

Cemco building products trading director Chris Hopkins said: “The competition for the heavy side supplier of the year award is always strong and this year was no exception. Hanson won for its high levels of customer service and its wide range of high quality products.”

Hanson supplies Cemco with over 60,000 tonnes of packed cement as well as aggregates and cementitious products throughout the UK.

Hanson Cement commercial director Keith Ellis said: “We have an excellent working relationship with Cemco and are delighted to receive this award. It recognises the part that everyone in the company plays in the success of our business.”
