Suppliers have been thanked by Lion Group, as it hosted its annual banquet awards evening to recognise their hard work.
Lion Group has hosted its annual trans-Tasman Supplier Recognition Awards, which recognises the performance of 2023 and provides an opportunity to gather Lion’s top suppliers to celebrate our strong and enduring partnerships.
Awards were presented in the following categories: Packaging, Ingredients, Logistics, Engineering/Site Services, Technology, Diversity, and Sustainability with each award recognizing the leading supplier in its respective category. The awards criteria are based on exceptional performance in terms of delivery performance, quality, customer service and feedback.
“The Lion Supplier Recognition Awards are all about recognition and celebrating the massive role our partners play in our success. Without our partners we simply cannot achieve our ambitions both in sales, and against our Force for Good strategy,” said Lion Group CEO Sam Fischer.
“We can only be a great supplier to our customers if we have great partners working with us, who share our joint commitment to be the best people to do business with”.
This year’s Supplier of the Year Award was rewarded to Visy Glass – Australia and New Zealand's largest manufacturer of recycled glass bottles and long-term partner of the Lion Group.”
Lion Group Chief Procurement Officer Jonathan Llewellyn said Visy Glass won three awards last night, which reflected the exceptional standard the company consistently meets.
“We wish to congratulate not only the Visy Glass team, but all finalists and winners of awards for their ongoing commitment, dedication and hard work they put into our partnerships. We need those partnerships more than ever to continue to provide consumers with high-quality products and deliver our commitment to do the right thing for the long term.”
Other award winners on the night included Bintani in the ingredients category and Bevchain in the Logistics category. Data #3 won the technology award, while Dundee Rock won the diverse supplier award.
