Kammy rewards winners at members’ weekend
19th June 2018

More than 240 delegates from Independent Network companies across the UK came together at the organisation’s members’ weekend.

At the conference, Finance Director Graham Fitton reviewed the financial results for 2017 and conducted the official AGM business before Sales Director Neil Evans discussed recent market developments and expectations for the year ahead.

Marketing Director Dawn Stockell highlighted the increase in I.N. brand awareness and leads over the year announce the news that Fensa will now be recognising the I.N. insurance-backed guarantee.

Business Consultant, Jeff Grout, rounded off the afternoon by encouraging members to think more critically about effective leadership and what makes a respected leader in the ‘real world’.

The evening’s gala dinner and awards ceremony was hosted by ex-Bradford City Player and Manager Chris ‘Kammy’ Kamara and included a charity raffle and auction, which, along with table donations, raised over £4000 for the evening’s four chosen charities: Hayley’s Hugs, Helping Hand, St Gemma's Hospice and Birchwood Highland.

This year’s award winners were:
Thistle Windows & Conservatories
Cheadle Glass Company Ltd
Goliath Homeworld
Wilson Windows
Ffenestri Kevin Thomas
Mews Windows

This year’s event also saw two new awards. Darren Drake of David Brunskill Windows took home ‘Installer of the Year’ and Paul Lewington of Lewington & Son claimed the first ever ‘Salesperson of the Year’ trophy.

Karen Lund, Head of Partner Programmes, said of the weekend: “As these awards celebrate the successes of our finest I.N. members up and down the country, we thought that the ‘Best of British’ would be a very apt theme.

“It’s been a thrill, once again, to highlight those companies that really go above and beyond. All the winners, and the nominees, deserve to be incredibly proud of themselves; they have been pitted against the best of the best and to have come out on top means they really have proven themselves to be the ‘cream of the crop’.”
