The British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) recently held their Annual Awards Dinner at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, which was attended by 900 industry professionals and had headline acts such as chart toppers JLS and Alexander Burke.

The evening was a huge success for London-based promotional merchandise distributor Outstanding Branding who were presented with the “Distributor of the Year” award by CEO of SPS, Phil Morgan.

Sales Director, Andy Thorne, commented “We are blown away.  In our industry there is no higher accolade we can receive. Sarah and I started Outstanding Branding 3 ? years ago, in a tough economic climate, Sarah had been made redundant and  I had just lost my dad to cancer but with the help and support of our suppliers and customers we were able to succeed.  To stand in front of 900 of our peers and receive the Distributor of the Year award is a huge achievement and makes us very proud.”

 He continued “From our humble beginnings we are continually growing and have assembled a truly amazing team; to see the joy and happiness that this award brought them makes it all worthwhile. We can’t stop smiling, it’s a brilliant feeling. This award is for each and every one of them, for all the hard work they put in and the professional approach and service they give our clients”

 The annual award ceremony is a must-attend event and Gordon Glenister, Director General of the BPMA was full of praise for Outstanding Branding.  “I am truly delighted to see Outstanding Branding  win such a prestigious award.  The team has worked so hard to deliver excellent customer service and provide creative solutions to their clients. I am very proud to have them as BPMA members.  The award is voted on by some of the industry top suppliers. “
