""In many ways, the award entry - on behalf of our customers and their customers who have told us what is important to them - was straight forward.
Our communications campaign has been based on USPs which the market told us would help their businesses grow.
These include being the only UK based manufacturer to offer the market three shades of white; our vertically integrated UK based manufacturing centre; and our future proofed no lead, no tin, 100% calcium organic skin and core cellular building products".
""But there's no point being the best or biggest manufacturer, if we aren't giving the market what it wants and needs".
