JG Speedfit named Supplier of the Year

JG Speedfit has received the Plumb And Parts Center Pipe Valves And Fittings Supplier of the Year 2014 award along with bcg Supplier Of The Year 2014 award.

On March 14th Sean McDonald, JG Speedfit’s divisional director, was presented with the two awards at a supplier conference in Leamington Spa, hosted by Plumb and Parts Center.

McDonald said: “This reward I believe is in recognition of the fantastic relationship we have developed with the Wolseley Group and their sub brands primarily Plumb Centre and bcg – a relationship based on mutual trust, reliability of supply, sales growth and most importantly professional engagement with the branches.”

JG Speedfit’s underground fittings and UFH ranges in particular have recently shown substantial contribution to the sales figures of some of the key Wolseley brands.

Darran Rickards, managing director of bcg, said: “bcg has had a trading relationship with John Guest for little over a year. In that time we have seen sales grow exponentially to the point where JG have become one of our most important suppliers. What has been most impressive about the JG approach to our relationship has been the willingness to listen to our requirements and deliver a commercial solution that has been good for JG, bcg and most importantly our customers. The account management has been professional, proactive and constant! We look forward to a long standing relationship which continues to grow from strength to strength.”
