The Waterloo team picked up their prize at a glitzy award ceremony held at Cambridge Cathedral Lodge on March 22. 

John Tiernan, operations director at Waterloo said: “We couldn’t be happier. Winning an award is always good, but to win one for manufacturing is the best it can be.

“Most of what’s manufactured in our factory is made to measure, and we do a lot of special orders for very prestigious buildings. Often, changes are made at the last minute, and we have to be able to react quickly.”

Mr Tiernan continued: “We believe the win was because of our investment in the factory, including a new paint shop, alongside our ‘customer first’ strategy. This was put in place several years ago and is at the core of our current success.

“We know that contractors and building engineers are under more pressure to deliver projects on time. As a component manufacturer, we understand the importance of our position in the supply chain. This win is testament to the whole team at Waterloo.”
