Slingsby Named UK’s Best Industrial Supplies Business

BRADFORD based workplace equipment supplier Slingsby has been named as the UK’s best Industrial and Warehouse Supplies Business at the prestigious European Catalogue & Mail Order Direct (ECMOD) Commerce Awards.

The awards recognise the highest quality multi-channel retail businesses and were presented at a glittering ceremony at London’s exclusive Hurlingham Club, which was hosted by Sky News anchor Dermot Murnaghan.

Slingsby supplies more than 35,000 workplace products to all industries through its website and catalogue, which is a familiar sight in all types of businesses and organisations. This year the company also invested an estimated £½ million in its ‘Price Drop’ campaign which has seen it reduce or hold prices on more than 8,000 products.

Lee Wright, Marketing Director of Slingsby, explains: “This is the first time we’ve entered these awards and to win the Industrial and Warehouse category is a great achievement. Slingsby has been supplying all types of workplace equipment for more than 120 years and today we exemplify everything that a true multi-channel supplier should be.

“We continually strive to ensure our customers receive excellent value for money, our highly recognisable catalogue is found in all types of workplaces across every industry, our entire product range is showcased on our state of the art website and we also offer 24 hour sales lines. All our products also include free delivery and a large proportion of our range can be delivered next day, at no extra charge, which continually ensures we give our customers a great experience across every channel.

“Our ability to continually innovate, as well as going above and beyond the norm, continually sets us apart from our competitors and we’re delighted the judges recognised this.”
