Mentor Training, the UK’s leading provider of material handling equipment and safety management training has been nominated for three awards at this year’s prestigious Archies Awards.
The national provider has been shortlisted as finalists for the Training Provider of the Year, Best New Product, and Customer Service Excellence awards.
Mentor’s Commercial Director, Adam Smith, shares his reaction, “It’s fantastic to be recognised by such a prestigious event. We have had success at the Archies in the past and we are thrilled to be acknowledged once again. Being shortlisted for three awards is a huge compliment to all the hard work completed by every single department in the business. It’s a very welcomed pat on the back for all of us here at Mentor.”
The UK Material Handling Association’s Archies is an event like no other within the material handling equipment sector and marks a notable date in the diary for the entire industry. What’s more, this year it takes place during the three-day IMHX exhibition, the UK’s premier event for supply chain and intralogistics professionals. So, the week’s events will see hundreds of individuals travel to Birmingham to be involved.
This year, the UK Material Handling Association saw an influx of submissions across the wide array of award categories, so being nominated as a finalist was no easy task.
Rob Fisher, UKMHA CEO, said: “We’ve been staggered by the volume and quality of entries for this year’s awards, and I must applaud everyone for the standard of their submissions. Frankly, I don’t envy the jobs of the judges having to find winners from such an outstanding set of nominations.”
Adam explains what the awards mean to him, “I’m equally proud of being announced as a finalist for each of the three categories. Training Provider is obviously the category you would most typically associate with what Mentor does, but the other two categories also mean an awful lot to us”.
Adam continues, “Having our innovative efforts recognised through the Best New Product nomination is fantastic. We strive to continuously evolve our services and the methods in which we deliver training, and having our game-changing blended learning operator solutions recognised by the Archies is amazing. Likewise, Customer Service Excellence is more than a goal here at Mentor, it’s our promise. To have that effort result in an award nomination is an amazing feeling. These kinds of moments make us stop for a second and reflect on the fantastic work that is being done here.”
Mentor are hoping for success during the awards ceremony and are wishing all other nominees good luck, too. The Archies Awards will be given out on 10th September, at the Vox Conference Centre in Birmingham.
