The Speedy Supplier Awards for 2016 were announced at the Speedy Expo at Liverpool Exhibition Centre.

Health and Safety Award

The health and safety of Speedy's employees and customers is something that we take seriously. Speedy actively seeks products and initiatives that offer real improvements in this area.

This award was quite simply, for a product, process or service that offers significant health and safety benefits and/or addresses an existing problem.

Winner - Reactec - HAVWEAR

The Reactec product is a wrist worn device to advise workers of tool vibration risk. It informs the wearer of their exposure by calculating and displaying in real-time their HSE HAV risk assessment exposure points. Sound and vibration alerts inform the wearer if their personalised exposure thresholds have been exceeded.

Finalist - Marwood Group Limited - Anti Slip Roadplate

Marwood Group's objective in developing this product was to not only implement a safer method of lifting and positioning the road plate, but to also increase the life span of the Anti-Slip material whilst maintaining a good level of grip on the plate surface.

Finalist - Milkwaukee - Cordless Magnetic Drill Press

A product which addresses the safety issue of using conventional mag drills and how the magnet is reliant on electrical power to operate a strap or chain that should always be used.

环境奖

The Environmental Award was for the company who has made a significant contribution to reducing environmental impact either through product development or by the introduction of new business, infrastructure or manufacturing processes.

Winner - Atlas Copco - HiLight B5+ Lighting Tower

The design objectives were to reduce fuel consumption and transport costs and minimise the risk of leakages. By combining improved optics and high efficiency LED lights, an area of 5,000 square metres can be lit using just 35% of the power needed by conventional metal halide lamps. Reduced fuel demands and compact design also reduce transportation costs. An integral spillage free frame minimises the risk of possible leakages and environmental pollution.

Lyreco achieved significant energy savings at their National Distribution Centre in Shropshire through the installation of the 4th largest rooftop PV system in the UK.
