bpi.recycled products named SOCIUS Janitorial Supplier of the Year

bpi.recycled products, which ranks as Europe’s largest manufacturer of refuse and recycling sacks, has been named as SOCIUS Janitorial Supplier of the Year for 2012. The accolade was presented as part of the SOCIUS Network’s annual Supplier Awards at a special 5thanniversary event held at the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin, on 10thApril, 2013.

The decision by the SOCIUS Network, which represents independent distributors of non-food products to the catering sector, is believed to be a direct result of a combination of factors. In particular, this includes bpi.recycled products’ extensive, high quality product portfolio - which consists of a wide range of waste management solutions including healthcare products - as well as its strong environmental credentials.

In addition, the SOCIUS Network was particularly impressed by bpi.recycled products’ commitment to offering the highest levels of service and support. As well as drawing on its position as a UK-based manufacturer to offer shorter lead times, increased stock holding and a continuity of supply and quality, bpi.recycled products has also been working closely with the SOCIUS Network on new business development.

Another important factor in the decision is understood to have been bpi.recycled products’ ability to offer SOCIUS members access to tailored waste management solutions specifically developed to meet particular commercial requirements.

Commenting, Kim Jones, Sales Director at bpi.recycled products, said: “As a business, bpi.recycled products is fully committed to offering our customers solutions that are individually tailored to their specific needs. This includes offering not only high performance products but also innovative service initiatives. We’re delighted to have been named as the SOCIUS Janitorial Supplier of the Year and it should be seen as a real testament both to this commitment and to the hard work of the entire bpi.recycled products’ team.”
