CWE has been recognised with the highly coveted Responsible and Sustainable Procurement Winner Award at this year’s Siemen’s annual supplier event and awards.
The accolade highlights CWE’s unwavering commitment to sustainable business practices, and the great work that has been done in collaboration with Siemens.
Presented at The Belfry in Birmingham, the day was an opportunity for Siemen’s suppliers, customers and colleagues to network, learn and take inspiration from keynote speakers.
Head of Commercial, Ricky Ravenhill, who received the award on behalf of CWE said: “I’m incredibly proud of this recognition, but it’s not just a reflection of our success—it’s a testament to the dedication, skill and hard work of every single person on this team.
“It was a fantastic day all round, with some opportunities to network and discuss Siemen’s future plans for the UK, especially for SME businesses, so it was the icing on the cake to receive the award too! This award is a reminder that when we work together with passion and purpose, we can achieve extraordinary things.”
Working closely with Siemens has allowed CWE to come up with innovative solutions, driving efficient, sustainable outcomes that transform the industry and empower future-focused progress.
