SAICA employees honoured at supplier awards bash

SAICA Pack has scooped two awards at the Nestlé Supplier Awards.

The firm’s Paul Gartland and Jackie Moore were awarded the ‘Above and Beyond’ and ‘Customer Service’ awards respectively on the night, which saw Nestlé staff nominate individuals they thought had made a positive contribution to the supplier relationship.

Paul Gartland, who joined SAICA in 2002, said he was ‘shocked but pleased’ to have won. He was nominated by Nestle’s I&R team. He said, “I have worked with Nestlé across many projects, delivering upon developing high quality packaging products. The awards were a really fun night and I’m very grateful to be recognised.”

Jackie Moore, who works in SAICA’s sales division, was recognised for her collaboration with the Nestlé procurement team. Jackie, who has worked at SAICA for 36 years said, “It’s amazing to have been acknowledged and appreciated by Nestlé. It was a humbling experience to accept the award.”

This is the second consecutive year SAICA have been successful at the Nestlé Supplier Awards. David Wilbraham, SAICA’s sales, commercial & marketing director in the UK and Ireland said, “We are delighted to have been recognised once again by Nestlé for our work. We pride ourselves on a productive partnership which revolves primarily around intelligent packaging that will contribute to Nestlé vision of sending zero waste to landfill by 2020.”
