Mila was named Component Supplier of the Year at the G-11 Awards on Friday night.

It was a real honour to accept the trophy from Sean Lock on behalf of everyone at Mila and it already has pride of place in our offices here.

To be judged not just the best hardware supplier but the best component supplier in the industry is a real accolade and a fantastic endorsement of all that Mila has achieved over the last couple of years.

We know that our On Time In Full delivery rates are now the best in the hardware sector, that we have more products in stock than anyone else, the lowest levels of product failure and the latest order time for next day delivery.

However, what we probably didn’t appreciate was just how highly we ranked against other component suppliers in the fenestration market.

Mila invested in products, people and processes throughout the recession and our commitment to continuous improvement has now been rewarded.

Congratulations to everyone here and thanks for all your hard work.

Richard

Congratulations Richard. I have had some dealings with your company this year and I can certainly vouch for the efficiency and dedication of your staff.

I am in the transport & logistics business and would be very interested in talking to you about your OTIF targets; I don't think I have come across a manufacturer who takes this area of their business as seriously as you guys but you have recognised that this is probably the most important thing for a client who is considering buying your products on a regular basis.

If you are interested in further reducing delivery times and safeguarding the integrity of your factory (China) to warehouse (UK) transit time commitments I can help you. I'd also be interested in helping you to put systems and procedures in place to enable you to roll out your superior logistics processes to the rest of the Arran Isle Group; this can be done quite easily and there are significant cost savings to be had by consolidating the shipping requirements of the whole group.
