Lu-Ve named top supplier

John&Stevenews

UK: Heat exchanger manufacturer Lu-Ve was named as the winner of the 2013 Mark Gardner Supplier of the Year Award at the recent Beijer Ref UK and Ireland supplier dinner.

Pictured (above) receiving the award from Dean & Wood md John Billson is Steve Taliadoros (right) the Lu-Ve UK general manager.

Commenting on the award, John Billson said: “I was pleased to see that the winner is a relatively newcomer to the D&W supply chain. It shows that a joint vision can be achieved with commitment and passion from both parties.”

Steve was quick to reiterate this and spoke of the strong partnership with tangible results built in a such short time.

The award is named in memory of Mark Gardner, the former finance director of Dean & Wood UK and managing director of Dean & Wood Ireland, who sadly passed away in 2012.
