Major Enfield employer TG Lynes has been named the heating and ventilating industry’s best distributor at a prestigious awards ceremony.
TG Lynes, based on Brancroft Way, won the Wholesaler/Distributor the Year accolade at the HVR Awards.
The HVR Awards champion innovation, excellence and achievement across the heating and ventilating industry.
Managing Director Martin Hastings collected the trophy at a ceremony attended by industry leaders at Chelsea Harbour Hotel.
Martin said: “We were thrilled to win this top award at the HVR Awards, which is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of all of our team.
“We had an excellent night and it was fantastic to celebrate the achievements and successes of leaders and high-performers within the heating and ventilating industry.
“This award is particularly special as it comes during our 110th anniversary year. Much has changed during that time, but the heritage and values created by founder Thomas George Lynes live on.
“We are committed to continued growth and progression in the years to come with quality, integrity, community and sustainability at the core.”
The Wholesaler/Distributor the Year award looked at all aspects of the business including customer service, product availability, colleague satisfaction, community engagement and sustainability.
TG Lynes has established itself as a favoured supplier for heating and ventilating engineers, stocks many leading UK brands and supplies thousands of products including valves, steel and copper tubes and fittings, press systems, composite and plastic plumbing, drainage solutions and support systems and tooling. An extensive plant hire service is also available.
The business has enjoyed huge growth in recent years with daily deliveries to sites across London, the South East, East Anglia and the Midlands. There are up to 23 delivery vehicles out on the road at any one time.
TG Lynes won the award after coming out on top of a public vote amongst industry peers, who were impressed by the business’ stock availability, its community work in and around Enfield and its sustainability credentials, which include significant carbon reduction through solar panels and electric vehicles.
The award also covered other aspects, including how TG Lynes looks after its people through training programmes and access to mental health professionals. This is backed up by the impressive longevity of the workforce, with 27% of people in the business having served for 10 years or more – and 8% over 30 years.
Martin added: “We’d like to put on record our appreciation and thanks to all customers and suppliers, many of which have supported us in our growth over many years.”
