Kenrick celebrates finalist status at G25 Awards

Kenrick has been named as a finalist in the Component Supplier of the Year category at the prestigious G25 Awards. 

Andy Meakin, sales and marketing manager at Kenrick, said: “The G Awards recognise exceptional performance from the best companies in the industry. To be named a finalist at our very first entry is a fantastic achievement and testament to the strength of our team, our products and the customers who continue to put their trust in us.”

Established in 1791, Kenrick is reported to be the oldest hardware business in the industry. Known for iconic products including the Excalibur shootbolt, the company continues to shape the market with innovations such as the Maximus Inline espagnolette, which is designed for fabrication speed and versatility with dual reverse-action cams and a no-crop design, and the AK Touch Secure smart lock, a retrofit-ready solution offering app, fingerprint, keypad, fob and voice control that is already being adopted by major fabricators and hardware distributors.

These product launches, combined with a refreshed commercial strategy, new digital platforms and partnerships with leading names including Nova Group, Universal Composite Doors, Doorco and Carl F Groupco, are said to have put Kenrick at the forefront of both traditional and smart hardware supply.

The company’s reputation for reliability, UK-based service, and a 98%+ OTIF delivery rate underpins everything it does.

Andy concluded: “We’re proud of our heritage, but even more excited about our future. This shortlisting reflects how our team and our customers are driving a new era for hardware supply, one that combines proven design with smart innovation. We congratulate our fellow finalists and look forward to celebrating the industry’s achievements together in November.”
