In the builders’ merchant industry, the relationship between merchants and suppliers is crucial to get right to ensure the customer gets the best possible deal.

At Chandlers, the team are always striving to develop strong relationships with their supply partners so they can meet and exceed the expectations of all the customers, from tradespeople to keen DIY-ers.

It is important to Chandlers to recognise outstanding individuals who go above and beyond to make a difference to the business and to customers. Chandlers has a large number of suppliers but time and again there are those that stand out in the service they offer.

The branch managers were asked to nominate the people they thought offered excellent service. After a great deal of deliberation and fierce competition, Chandlers were finally delighted to announce the winners as:

Natalie Atkin of Marley Eternit - Roofing Supplier Rep of the Year 2017

Jason Ward of TwoTwenty Stairs - Heavyside Supplier Rep of the Year 2017

Richard Skinner, Commercial Director for Chandlers, said: “It was a tough choice to pick the winners from so many nominations - we'd like to thank all of our Suppliers for helping us to keep our customers happy. Congratulations to Natalie and Jason, thank you for being a pleasure to work with.”
