Granby's Awards

Granby won the Lancashire Business View Award, the only Red Rose Award category decided by the organising team.

Among the evidence that contributed to this amazing accoladed was that we provide end-to-end fulfilment services to some of the best-known household brands and public sector organisations. In addition, judges noted that we have developed our own AI to streamline processes,  introduced a range of workforce wellbeing measures, and became an employee owned business.

Granby has made Lancashire Business View’s Hot 100 list for the first time, taking a seat at Number 94 and flying the flag for businesses in Blackburn.

Managing Director, Jo Kimber said: “The last couple of years have been extraordinary and it’s amazing to get this recognition.

“We delivered some very large projects for our clients during this period – like Census 2021, for example.”

Our brilliant finance team came away with a ‘highly commended’ at the 2022 Finance Awards North West in the highly competitive ‘5 people or less’ category. We had to show our ‘excellence in the field’ and we had to supply detailed examples of ‘collective success’ and how we contributed to Granby’s success.

Joanne Kimber, Managing Director, said: “Our COVID recovery has been greatly assisted by our finance team and we’ve seen our 3PL company grow by 60% during this period. I’m delighted their contribution to Granby – and the North West business community – has been recognised.

For the second year in a row, we won Co-pack and Fulfilment company of the year!

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our talented team, we were able to snag the award for our continued delivery on KPIs and an all-round impressive service. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, there wasn’t the usual event which would normally be hosted by the UK Packaging Awards but it was still as exciting to hear it over the phone!

We attended the Annual UK Packaging Awards in London to discover we’d won Co-Pack and Fulfilment company of the year.

We are absolutely delighted to be recognised for our services. Jo Kimber, MD at Granby, said: “We were thrilled to receive a highly commended acknowledgement in the 2018 awards, so to win the overall category in this year’s awards is such fantastic news for our business, staff and clients. It’s a testament to the service and quality we deliver. I’m delighted to be taking the award and accolade back to the team in Lancashire.”

Granby’s promotional marketing team brought home Gold from two categories at the annual IPM COGS Awards – for Print Management and Innovation.

Our Gold Award for Print Management was in regard to the promotional merchandise for the International Women’s Day campaign. This annual global campaign is a very high profile event where quality or the printed materials are paramount. We also managed the kit collation and global distribution efficiently, ensuring all orders were delivered in full, on time, for the global event.

Granby’s promotional marketing team brought home Gold from two categories at the annual IPM COGS Awards – for Print Management and Innovation.

The Gold awarded for innovation was for our promotional marketing app, SwiftReceipt. This is a digital receipt validation tool that confirms proof of purchase in seconds. Nespresso adopted SwiftReceipt for their 2018 promotional campaign, significantly reducing the validation time allowing rewards to be distributed to customers in much shorter lead time. SwiftReceipt also easily managed increased redemption volumes efficiently and without impact on the customer experience

Granby won a prestigious Customer Service award at the annual UKWA (UK Warehousing Association) Awards. This award recognises businesses across the logistics sector who provide outstanding customer service for their clients.

The annual award celebration took place at The Dorchester hotel in London and was a great celebration of talent in the logistics and warehousing industry.
