More than 80 partners from across our supply chain joined a team from Sweet Projects at Hartham Park in Wiltshire last week, to learn more about our history, culture, behaviours, and future opportunities.
The Georgian manor house played host to a presentation along with networking opportunities bringing together teams from across the UK.
“We’ve had some great, positive feedback from attendees and a packed-out room for the presentation,” said Mike Ash, Supply Chain Manager, who organised the event. “The presentations and networking opportunities worked well, with many partners able to meet the Sweet Projects team face-to-face.”
“To have more than 80 people attending our first ever annual supply chain event is great, and is testament to the close working relationships we all have.”
As well as networking and showcasing services and experience, there were also awards recognising exceptional work. Each quarter, the Sweet Projects team already highlights one of its suppliers, and this time it was the turn of the first annual awards ceremony.
“Four 2023 partner awards were given to Evans Electrical, Solum, Ceil and Toureen, all of whom fully deserved their plaudits,” continued Mike.
“It’s fantastic to see everyone pulling together on large-scale projects and complex builds, and I’d like to add my personal thanks to everyone involved in the day and across our supply chain for their hard work and dedication.”
