Flexseal support the important role of specialist builders merchants

The long awaited 2020 Builders’ Merchants Awards, which had to be postponed in 2020 to support the UK’s efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, took placed Friday 14th May 2021. With the turmoil caused by the pandemic and the resilient strength and togetherness of the industry, the 2020 BM Awards was arguably the most important year for recognition in the awards history. The addition of a new award category, ‘Specialist Merchant of the Year’, shows the importance and increased profile of our industry’s specialist knowledge merchants. As a specialist manufacturing supplier, Flexseal, jumped at the opportunity to support the recognition of specialist merchants by sponsoring the new category. Managing Director of Flexseal, Lee Pashley, speaks about the new award at this year’s Builders’ Merchants Awards: “We’re proud to be connected with the Builders’ Merchants Awards and we see the recognition it gives to excelling businesses and individuals as extremely important. The inclusion of a specialist award shows both the importance of these merchants in the industry and the quality of their work. As a specialist manufacturer and supplier to the builders’ merchant industry, we appreciate the level of skill and knowledge required to excel in a specialist area and this is something we both support and encourage. I am delighted that the profile of specialist merchants in the industry continues to rise and we, as a company, will continue to do all we can to support their success.” The Specialist Merchant of the Year award was picked up by Keyline – civils specialist, and a key partner in the supply of Flexseal products to the UK marketplace. The award demonstrates the important role that Keyline have played in the supply chain of the civils industry and celebrates their hard work and dedication to safely bringing stability to customers in an extremely challenging year.
