G22 Award Finalists!
This year we are proud to announce that we have been shortlisted in the finals for the G-Awards throughout three categories: the new Rising Star Award; Training and Development Initiative of the Year; and the Showcase, Fabricator of the Year category.
The G Awards have made a strong impression on the industry as the place to recognise and honour achievements in the glass and glazing sector. The purpose of the event is to honour the most innovative businesses with exceptional performance and ideas in the UK fenestration sector.
We decided to apply for the G-Awards 2022 after winning Fabricator of the Year last year on the strength of operational efficiencies of up to 15%. This assisted us in making our commitment to freeze costs for six months starting in February this year.
Ryan Johnson, Managing Director, said: “We’re delighted to have made the Fabricator of the Year shortlist for the second time in two years and will clearly be keeping our fingers – and everything else – crossed, that we can repeat last year’s performance and come away with the award for a second time.
“It’s a fiercely contested category with some great fabrication businesses shortlisted in it, so all we can do is do our best and see how it goes on the night. Either way, we’re pleased to have made the cut and delighted that the hard work of the team and our commitment to our customers has been recognised.”
Being noticed for all of our hard work and forward-thinking movements we are consistently working towards is a wonderful achievement, especially against other highly-qualifying competitions. If we can repeat last year’s performance and win ‘Fabricator of the Year’ for the second consecutive year it will highlight that we take pride in what we do and are focused on improving industry standards.
The Fabricator of the Year submission has highlighted our smart complaints development. This new digital process streamlines customer complaints, returns and re-ordering actions. In addition to this, the quality road-mapping programme includes weekly reviews for us in the retail sector. Not to mention, sourcing our energy through our own solar panels. We are committed to driving our sustainability agenda, which is why we have upgraded our fleet to new lower-emission engines.
Dawid Hajduk has been shortlisted in the Rising Star category. Now Operations Support Leader, he joined us straight from school as an Operations Apprentice. Three years on, and three promotions, later, he was nominated after picking up significant additional responsibility and performing a vital role in our planning and scheduling team during COVID-19 disruption. This included single handily managing Kolorplas’s bespoke paint spraying service, including processing orders, stock control and line management responsibilities – when he was still only 18 years old!
“We’re a big and complex business. If you step back and you look at what we make every day, the vast majority of products that we make – bespoke, no two frames the same – it’s incredible.”, continued Ryan.
“Planning that, scheduling production so that products get made but also are manufactured as efficiently as possible and on time, with multiple competing demands, it’s almost a miracle every day.
“It’s the product of a great team, in the factory but also testimony to our planning, the systems we have and those that we’re developing – and Dawid plays a massive part in all of that”, he concluded.
We are excited about the winner of this prestigious award to be announced, and regardless of the outcome, we will continue to serve excellence and strive towards bettering ourselves being highlighted by the advanced movements we are taking.
