Collecting the award, Managing Director, Ryan Johnson, paid tribute to the Emplas team, its customers and supply partners. He said: “The last two years haven’t always been easy. We’ve faced some big challenges but we’ve adapted, we’ve overcome and we’ve been agile in our approach, changing the way we have run our business, so that ultimately we’re stronger and better placed for the future. This award is testimony to the hard work of the whole Emplas team. We are incredibly lucky in that we employ some of the industry’s most knowledgeable, passionate and committed people.
“It’s also a reflection of the professionalism of our customers and our supply partners. We’ve worked more closely with them than ever before to overcome the obstacles that COVID-19 has placed in our way and that those relationships are stronger going forward as a consequence.”
