Lion hosted its annual trans-Tasman Supplier Recognition Awards this week, which recognises the performance of 2023.
Awards were presented in the following categories: Packaging, Ingredients, Logistics, Engineering/Site Services, Technology, Diversity, and Sustainability with each award recognising the leading supplier in its respective category.
The awards criteria are based on exceptional performance in terms of delivery performance, quality, customer service and feedback.
“The Lion Supplier Recognition Awards are all about recognition and celebrating the massive role our partners play in our success,” says Lion Group CEO, Sam Fischer.
“Without our partners we simply cannot achieve our ambitions both in sales, and against our Force for Good strategy.
“We can only be a great supplier to our customers if we have great partners working with us, who share our joint commitment to be the best people to do business with”.
This year’s Supplier of the Year Award was rewarded to Visy Glass – Australia and New Zealand’s largest manufacturer of recycled glass bottles and long-term partner of the Lion Group.
Lion Chief Procurement Officer Jonathon Llewellyn says Visy Glass was a winner of three awards, which is reflective of the exceptional standard the company consistently delivers to.
“We wish to congratulate not only the Visy Glass team, but all finalists and winners of awards for their ongoing commitment, dedication and hard work they put into our partnerships.
“We need those partnerships more than ever to continue to provide consumers will high quality products and deliver our commitment to do the right thing for the long term”.
