UK: In a break with tradition, Beijer Ref UK & Ireland has made personal recognition awards to Dirk Parker of insulation company K-Flex and Paul Szyszczak of Danfoss. 

These special awards were given in place the Supplier of the Year award presented at Beijer Ref’s annual Supplier dinner

“We felt that it wasn’t appropriate this year to give the award to one single company as all suppliers had worked hard to support our business in 2021. This personal award is to say thank you to two individuals who clearly demonstrated a passion to support our business,” said innovation and marketing director Howard Noble.
