Trainee of the Year Award Winners 2017

We’re delighted to announce that Craig Benn, our Graduate Trainee, scooped the Trainee of the Year award at this year’s prestigious Tile Association Awards.

Having joined us in February 2016, Craig has quickly become an integral part of the team.

Armed with a degree in Business Economics from Leeds Metropolitan University, and an impressive career with Sainsbury’s, including enrolment onto their management training scheme, Craig has been instrumental in moving Ceramic Tile Merchants forwards as a business and developing our sales and processes.

One of Craig’s key achievements since joining the business last year, was leading the project to install a new software system to manage all our core business activities, including sales, purchase invoices, stock control and accounts.

Using his knowledge from both university and the workplace, Craig has begun identifying ways in which we as a business can improve in a highly competitive market, to stand out from our competitors.

In addition to this, Craig has also developed relationships with trade accounts customers and retail customers, along with developing his product and industry knowledge in a very short space of time.

We’re so proud of everything Craig has already achieved during his time with Ceramic Tile Merchants. Please join us in congratulating Craig on winning the prestigious Tile Association Trainee of the Year award – we’re incredibly proud of you!
