Festo wins prestigious award from Brammer

During the build-up to the award presentation, Alastair Campbell stated, “Brammer works with many of the world’s leading engineering component manufacturers, enabling it to offer customers an unrivalled choice of over 1 million individual products. Managing this level of supply chain complexity demands strong working relationships with supply partners. Over the past 12 months, one global organisation has stood out for its innovation and continuous improvement in supporting Brammer in the UK – and that is Festo.”

The award was jointly presented by Alastair Campbell and Ian Ritchie, MD of Brammer UK, and accepted on behalf of Festo by Mike Gaffney, Deputy MD of Festo GB, and Stuart Gittins, Festo’s Distribution End User Manager.

Although Stuart Gittins has overall managerial responsibility for supplier relationships, including Brammer, he was keen to point out, “This award actually marks recognition of a huge team effort. Festo brings a large number of new products to market every year, which means that helping Brammer maintain its position as a specialist, highly-focussed supplier involves a truly collaborative and multi-disciplined approach to distribution. We operate very much as a team at every stage of the supply process, from initial discussions and procurement strategies, through internal product training, to external customer support.”
