Crimson & Co was delighted to sponsor The Supply Chain Distinction Awards 2010 held on Tuesday 8th June. Now in its third year, the event brings together the leading supply chain and logistics professionals from around the globe to embrace and celebrate excellence across the most important disciplines in supply chain management. 

Crimson & Co presented the most prestigious award 'Supply Chain Team of the Year' to Terra Technology and Proctor & Gamble.  Richard Powell, Crimson & Co Managing Director commented: 

"As a business, our prime focus is the end-to-end supply chain – whilst we have functional specialists, we do everything with a full understanding of the implications across the supply chain as a whole. This is because true excellence can only be driven by every part of a business working in sync. Over recent years, supply chain management has evolved from a loose affiliation across functions to an integrated and cross functional discipline. Supply Chain Management has come of age!  Today, supply chain professionals must have:

• Subject matter expertise and broad skills across the supply chain
• Experience in effectively applying information technology
• A range of leadership capabilities to drive projects and manage different stakeholder expectations
• Global planning and operations experience to manage boundary spanning and increasingly virtual supply chain environments
• Knowledge, breadth and experience to evaluate the competitive environment and market strategy                                

So, being passionate about the end-to-end supply chain, and understanding the skills required to achieve change, we were delighted to help recognise the outstanding work of supply chain teams that have achieved success across the supply chain. Such achievements are hard earned and deserve the cross industry recognition that this award represents.”

We would also like to congratulate our client Constellation for winning the 'Green Supply Chain Award'.
