GAP Event Services, a division of GAP Hire Solutions, has been shortlisted for two prestigious supplier awards. The company is competing against several other companies in the ‘Best Crowd/Pit Barrier’ and ‘Best Fencing/Hoarding’ categories at the Festival Supplier Awards. The Festival Supplier Awards recognise the achievements and hard work of outdoor event and festival suppliers. GAP Event Services has been recognised for its work at numerous events in 2018, including the Adidas Series Run, European Championships, and projects with Glasgow City Council. They supplied crowd control barriers, fencing and trackway for a number of the events. All the equipment was of the highest standard, supported by high levels of service, with the added insurance of the Account Manager being available 24/7 and first-rate site support on hand from the first delivery to the last collection. “The Events division at GAP has grown an average of 19% a year since 2014. I believe this is due to the team’s absolute commitment and passion for the events we work on. This is embodied by the team being available to our customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and always doing our best to provide a solution to our customer needs whatever they may be. The team genuinely care about the events we work on and take a personal interest in the success of the event. I’m hugely proud of the team we’ve built at GAP,” said Daimon Dunhue, GAP Event Services Division Manager. The Festival Supplier Awards ceremony will be held in London’s Hurlingham Club on Thursday 31 January 2019. GAP’s Event Services division combines the expertise of all GAP services to provide a complete hire solution for event management companies. Whether crowd barriers for s sporting event of the summer are needed, pedestrian barriers to demark a site or trackway to provide vehicles with easy access, GAP Event Services has the the right hire solution.
Fending off keen industry competition, Travis Perkins Managed Services has successfully come head and shoulders above the rest in the 2016 Housing Innovation Awards. Named the Most Innovative Supplier in this year’s award, Travis Perkins was successful in defeating 4 other organisations nominated for the award, which is headed up by Excel Publishing. Of course, this builds upon the company’s continued success in the industry, where it is commonly seen as a role model for other organisations in the business of supplying the construction sector. Created to showcase the best, brightest, most innovative and unique schemes and services within the housing market, the awards are spread across fifteen categories which range in topic. For Travis Perkins’ award, it has been stated that the judges looked for supply chain partners playing a key role in minimising the costs of their clients, whilst simultaneously maintaining (if not improving) the level of quality offered in both product and service. Additionally, environmental concerns were taken into account, with suppliers partnering with clients to reduce carbon emissions and improve overall efficiencies getting a nod. As the largest building products supplier in the UK, Travis Perkins Plc places a great deal of weight behind Travis Perkins Managed Services, which is able to offer flexible services for all manner of organisation throughout the public sector, helping them to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and enhance repair and maintenance schemes. The first partnership for Travis Perkins Managed Services heralds back to 2004, where the organisation worked with Wrekin Housing Trust to supply them with materials and provide major savings as a result. Since then, the organisation has come on in leaps and bounds, working with public sector organisations of all shapes and sizes, such as the NHS and numerous education, local council and housing association type organisations. Commenting on the company’s success in winning the award, Stuart Hough, the organisation’s Managing Director expressed his delight, nodding to the important role which innovation plays in the company’s day to day operations. He explained: “While the broad offering is around supply chain streamlining every customer is different and we have to be able to adapt to offer them innovative tailor-made solutions.” In effect, this has led to the company keeping a keen eye on the future of the sector, keeping abreast of the latest changes and developments so as best to ensure that it is able to offer a service rich in quality, whilst efficient and cost effective.
