We 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 our transformative initiatives and the individuals in our team who go above and beyond to make the business an industry leader.
The nominations include
- Ella Glover for Rising Star of the Year
- Sarah Whittaker for Rising Star of the Year
- UK Doors Online for Best Business Initiative
- Chris Bennett for Unsung Hero of the Year
- UKO Group for Training and Development Initiative
UK Doors’ innovative trade portal is what got us shortlisted for Best Business Initiative of the Year. The digital platform was designed and developed by our teams 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 our 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 within our business. This achievement highlights our 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 bring home some awards, wish us luck!
