SBS Wins AGAIN – Distributor of the Year

For the third consecutive year, Smith Brothers are proud to be called winners of the Wholesaler/Distributor of the Year award at the 11th annual HVR Awards. The event, which was held Thursday 15th October, took place digitally due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Organised by Datateam Business Media, the HVR Awards champions innovation, excellence and achievement across the Heating and Ventilating industry. Throughout its tenure, the awards have grown alongside the very industry it serves.

From outstanding technological developments to unrivalled service and individual contributions, the awards feature an array of categories that honour achievements from all corners of the industry. HVR Award recipients are inducted into an exclusive club, receiving an independent mark of distinction and a lifelong place in the ‘Hall of Flame’.

Smith Brothers sponsored the evening alongside other industry heavyweights such as Baxi Heating, BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) and Stelrad.

Wholesaler/Distributor of the Year

The Wholesaler/Distributor of the Year award was open to all HVAC wholesalers operating within the UK who offer a wide range of products, essentially a ‘one-stop-shop’ for heating and ventilating engineers.

As the award is voted for by industry stakeholders, it makes the achievement that bit more special. Smith Brothers would like to thank everyone who voted for the business. The award is dedicated to all SBS staff members who continue to uphold the business’s ethos of Staff, Stock, Service. With previous finalists including the likes of BSS, the award is held in high regard.

With its significance, SBS support both product and projects which make an impact in the HVAC marketplace. The evening will be hosted by comedian Tom Allen and presents another opportunity to reflect and celebrate the achievements of the industry, especially during this challenging year.
