Members clinch independent retailer and e-business awards, while Digital Marketing Executive, Alex Heaps, earns Rising Star recognition
“What a fantastic evening it was for our industry.” commented group Managing Director, Tim Beaumont, “To have so many of our members involved in the event is something that I am very proud of and a sign that we must be doing something right as a dealer group.”
The winning members were Don Ruffles who continue to lead the way in the online supplies market and Stationery Supplies, announced as Independent Retailer for the third successive year.
In addition to the three award winners there were highly commended recognitions for Michael Morgan of Morgan & Morgan and Sarah Laker from Stationery Supplies in the Business Leader and Professional of the Year categories respectively. Also attending the event with Nemo Office Club were Sandra Jervis of Creative Cove and Ray Williams of JPS Stationers who were both finalists in the Independent Retailer of the Year category.
“It demonstrates the strength of our group and the true power of collaboration the fact that we had winners in such diverse categories as retail and e-business.” Added Tim, “I am also delighted for our Chairman, Michael Morgan, being recognised for his business leadership and Sarah Laker for her professionalism, which I can certainly vouch for as a leading consultant to the group in our strong retail offering. The icing on the cake is Alex Heaps being recognised as the Rising Star of the Year – he has given our social media offering a huge overhaul and has introduced AI into much of what we do, giving our members an advantage over their competitors.”
