Another Gong for Promotional Gift Specialists Leighmans.com

    BURY, ENGLAND, March 28, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 2012 - 2011 proved to be another successful year for leading corporate promotional gift supplier Leighmans, after the company achieved the accolade of "Finalist" in the BPMA Awards "Distributor of the Year 2011" category.

The BPMA, otherwise known as The British Promotional Merchandise Association is one of the biggest industry bodies in the UK, and has been keeping the quality of services and practices within the market place at the highest level for over 45 years.

Each year The BPMA Annual Awards recognizes those firms within the industry who have continued to excel in various areas of the business.

"Campaign of the Year", "Supplier of the Year", "Personality of the Year", "Innovative Product of the Year", and "Distributor of the Year" are all celebrated, and this year Leighmans were once again selected for a distributor "gong".

Although no strangers to picking up industry awards, Leighman's Director Darren Leigh was ecstatic about this year's "Finalist" status.

"We always get great reviews and support from our clients which obviously pleases us greatly, but to be picked out by the industry's leading body as one of the best distributors of the year is amazing." He beams.

"Whilst we're about providing great products such as promotional mugs or branded pens combined with excellent service, an industry award is always the icing on the cake. It's great for all our hardworking staff to get some recognition for all their hard work too." He continues.

With the global economy still feeling the effects of recession, Mr Leigh knows there's no time to be complacent.

"Whilst we're obviously doing something right, we'll continue to grow and develop our services and promotional products ranges, in addition to building some exciting alliances. 2012 should be a very positive year for Leighmans.com, and we can't wait to get started."

Although many companies are feeling the pinch financially, and statistics prove that marketing is one of the areas they're making cuts, the promotional gift industry is still thriving. We asked the Leighmans Director why he thought his business was still doing so well during troubled times?

"I think businesses know they need to do something different to stand out from their competition. Sticking a few adverts out there just isn't effective anymore. Promotional gifts and merchandise gives businesses a unique and exciting way to build their brand and connect with the public.

Hopefully as long as we keep providing the market with high quality products, there'll always be a demand for what we do."

One thing's for certain, if Leighmans continues to flourish under the leadership of Darren Leigh then 2012 could well be another award winning year.
