A huge congratulations to all those who came away with a trophy at the G25 Awards, which were held last Friday at the Hilton on Park Lane, London.

As usual it was a very glamorous affair and one that celebrated all the best people, products, businesses and initiatives of the last 12 months.

I was particularly proud to be able to present the award for Rising Star of the Year to Jason Gostling of Direct Trade (Yorkshire), the winner of one of the most important categories in my opinion (along with Unsung Hero of the Year) as it recognises the wealth of talent in our sector and helps to recognise the future leaders of the industry.

The full list of winners is as follows:

Best Business Initiative of the Year
Supply2 Trade

Commercial Project of the Year
Wembley Park, Reynaers Aluminium

Component Supplier of the Year

Customer Care Initiative of the Year
