UKO Group are celebrating landing an impressive five finalist spots at this year’s G Awards, a prestigious event that celebrates innovation and exceptional performance in the glass and glazing industry. The shortlist recognises both the company’s transformative initiatives and the individuals who go above and beyond to make the business an industry leader.
The nominations include UK Doors Online for Best Business Initiative of the Year, Ella Glover and Sarah Whittaker for Rising Star of the Year, UKO Group for Training and Development Initiative of the Year, and Chris Bennett for Unsung Hero.
UK Doors’ innovative trade portal is what got them shortlisted for Best Business Initiative of the Year. The digital platform was designed and developed in-house and allows users to design, quote and purchase products online 24/7, reducing the reliance on traditional sales channels and giving customers complete flexibility and efficiency.
UKO Group has been recognised for its training and development programme, a successful dual-pronged initiative focussed on apprenticeship development and management training, both of which delivered a 100% completion rate, with every participant progressing into more advanced roles. This achievement highlights commitment to nurturing talent and building future leaders from within.
Andrew Glover, Managing Director and Co-Founder of UKO Group said: “We are so proud to be shortlisted for not one but five finalist spots at the G awards. All our team work tirelessly to ensure we offer the best products and service to all our customers and being recognised at such prestigious awards as the G awards is a great honour.”
Marketing Director and Co-Founder, Natasha Erskine, added that the recognition of individuals was particularly special: “I am particularly proud of our individual team members who have been shortlisted because our people are the backbone of our organisation and we wouldn’t be where we are without them. We are a small organisation and many of our team members have been with us since our origin so it is great to see some of them recognised in this way.”
The awards take place on Friday 28th November at London Hilton, Park Lane, where the UKO Group team will join industry peers to celebrate excellence in glazing and hopefully pick up some awards!
