Duraweld: Smart Presentation

Duraweld nominated for both Supplier of the Year and Product of the Year at the 2011 BAPC Awards

 Duraweld, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of customised plastic stationery products, has been nominated for two prestigious awards by the British Association for Print and Communication (BAPC), namely ‘Supplier of the Year’ and ‘Product of the Year’.

 
The awards will be announced at The BAPC Annual Conference which takes place in Elstree, London on October 20thand 21st and which aims to bring the print industry together to celebrate excellence and innovation. Over 150 delegates are due to attend the conference, and they will all be asked to vote from a shortlist of 12 for the ‘supplier which makes the difference to your company and gives you excellent customer service’ and from 12 in the ‘Product of the Year’ category.

 
Duraweld’s entry in the ‘Product of the Year’ comprises their online ‘Build Your Own’ service, which won the category last year. The service allows customers to purchase customised ring binders, boxes, ticket holders and tax disc holders via Duraweld’s website and has seen a number of enhancements over the last 12 months including the addition of polypropylene ring binders and tax disc holders; and a sleek new look.

 
Hannah Senior, Managing Director of Duraweld said, “We are delighted to be nominated for two categories this year, which is a great reflection on our commitment to both excellent customer service and product innovation.  Since the launch of our five customer commitments in January, securing nominations for both these awards demonstrates how listening to our customers’ views and focusing our efforts on enhancing the ‘customer journey’ has helped us strengthen our position in a challenging business environment.”
