Firm’s pride at supply chain awards nominations

Countrywide Grounds Maintenance has spoken of its pride after being nominated for a brace of major awards recognising suppliers.

The firm, which delivers commercial grounds maintenance, was recently shortlisted in the VINCI Facilities Supply Chain Awards.

The awards recognise exceptional suppliers who contribute significantly to delivering outstanding service and sustainable solutions in the facilities management sector, highlighting the vital role that suppliers play in supporting VINCI Facilities’ mission.

Countrywide was one of just 50 suppliers shortlisted out of a total supply chain of more than 1,700.

It was a finalist in the Environmental Impact Award and Social Impact Award categories – and although at the awards ceremony itself it did not win, the firm said it was proud to be among such esteemed company.

Adam Passfield, regional manager at Countrywide, said: “It was a real privilege to be in the room.

“We didn’t take home an award this year in our categories, but any disappointment vanished when I realised we were one of only 50 suppliers invited out of a total supply chain of more than 1,700.

“That alone feels like real recognition for myself and the team.”
