UK: Javac, the high vacuum, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturer, has won Climate Center’s 2015 Supplier of the Year award.

Climate Center’s supplier award is based on performance across a broad range of criteria, including branch technical support, staff training, order processing, on time deliveries and other aspects of good customer service and support.

“I was very proud to receive the award on behalf of the whole Javac UK team,” said md Steve Davies. “It is a real group effort – from everyone in the branches to accounts, sales and marketing.”

Andy Wighton, Pipe Center and Climate Center md, said: “Working in partnership with our key suppliers to create value for the whole supply chain is really important to us. We’re proud to be associated with such an outstanding supplier and it’s been great to see how successful we can be when we work together.”

Also present at the presentation at Wolseley’s head office in Leamington Spa was Wolseley UK’s new managing director Patrick Headon who, along with Climate Center’s support team, congratulated Javac on their outstanding supplier performance over the last year.
