The promotional merchandise industry could hear the drums rolling on Monday 2nd December in anticipation of the announcement from industry trade organisation, Sourcing City, on who had won their prestigious SC Awards 2013.
For the third time this year, London-based Outstanding Branding was announced as Sourcing City’s “Distributor of the Year”, which will sit alongside the awards won earlier this year from industry trade body, The British Promotional Merchandise Association; and from the Advantage buying group. The Sourcing City awards are voted for by individuals within the promotional merchandise supply chain.
“I can’t quite believe we have won Distributor of the Year in the three industry awards that are presented. I’m in total shock,” announced Outstanding Branding’s Managing Director, Sarah Penn.
“Winning once was special, but to get the hattrick of awards is unbelievable. Andy and I are so proud of the whole team”.
Outstanding Branding has come second in the Sourcing City awards for the past three years and Sourcing City’s CEO, Alistair Mylchreest, commented “The Sourcing City awards are seen to be true recognition from all personnel in the promotional merchandise industry as to how they see their distributor and supplier relationships”.
“To get recognised you must have great relationships throughout the supply chain and each individual department. It’s then even more pleasing to see new companies growing and being recognised in the industry and it’s great to have a new winner in Outstanding Branding in a very competitive category. Congratulations to #teamOB for winning this category and being recognised as a great company to do business with”.
2013 has been a successful year for Outstanding Branding with continued growth, three “Distributor of the Year” awards and a “Catalogue Cover of the Year” and MD Sarah Penn knows exactly why this is.
“It’s easy for us to identify why we are successful: we have an amazing team who work hard to achieve the goals we set and an amazing bunch of suppliers who really understand what we are about. The support we receive is phenomenal and as we grow we will be working even closer with them to enable us to achieve even more. On behalf of Andy and myself I would like to thank every single person who has voted for us and shown faith in what we do”.
