Education Resource Award winner - Supplier of the Year 2010

This spring, The Consortium is celebrating a big win, taking home the top Supplier of the Year prize at The Education Resource Awards.

The Education Resource Awards are supported by trade association, The British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA). Each category is judged by a panel of independent education experts including classroom teachers. On selecting a winner, the judging panel focus on the ways in which different suppliers provide effective resources, services and people to support schools.

For any company to win such a prestigious award as this one requires a total commitment to customer focus

The Consortium stood out for its ability to offer a wide range of products that support school life, whilst maintaining consistently high levels of customer service. Particularly commended was its recent development to support colour blind friendly printing as well as an impressive commitment to sustainability.

Melanie Teal, The Consortium's chief executive said: "For any company to win such a prestigious award as this one requires a total commitment to customer focus, therefore we are delighted to be chosen as the best in our field, and to be recognised for our company's ideals. We have set out to provide education establishments, including pre-school and further education, with a great product offering based on our commitment to sustainability, and fabulous service which results in happy customers."

Ray Barker of BESA concluded: "What makes these awards different is that they focus on resources, services and the people that really make an impact on learning and the day to day work of teachers in the classroom. I would like to congratulate The Consortium on winning this Supplier of the Year award."
