It is a great honor to receive this recognition.”

We wish to recognise Sanbra Fyffe for their contribution to quality and standards in the plumbing supply industry as well as for their conduct in the areas of trust, commitment, performance & customer centricity.

Managing Director of the All-Ireland Business Foundation Kapil Khanna saidthe accreditation, which is now held by over 500 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards but have nothing to measure them by.

He said:“We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics.”
