The People make Performance Award recognised the company’s commitment to training and development, its staff award programme and Vice President – Operations, Chris Horton’s role chairing the National Skills Academy for Process Industries.

The Innovation Award nomination was for ‘LINPAC Online’, the company’s new customer-focused online ordering system.
