Shedding light on the winners
June 1st 2008

Redirack, a pallet racking and storage solutions specialist, has been named 2007 Supplier of the Year by the Storage and Handling Equipment Distributors' Association (SHEDA). The award was presented at this year's SHEDA AGM and awards presentation.

The accolade shows that the South Yorkshire company provides a consistently excellent service.

At last year's awards it took second place having earned first place in 2006.

Newcomer to the hit parade, Bott, based in Bude, Cornwall, was named as the second best Supplier of the Year, with old favourite Moresecure International of Telford coming third for the fourth successive year.

The Shield of Honour Award, for the company with the most improved service over the previous year, went to another new name – Lion Steel Equipment of Cheshire.

"It's good to see newcomers challenging the historic top performers who've set an impressive benchmark for the industry. It shows that the healthy competition is driving up standards," comments incoming SHEDA president Mike Lynch. The SHEDA Lifetime Achievement award was given to one of the longest-serving SHEDA council members, Richard Powell, who set up his Cardiff-based racking and office furniture company in 1972.

The SHEDA Awards, now in their 19th year, are voted for by the members and presented annually.
