CoolKit Wins Refrigerated Panel Van Of The Year At TCS&D Awards
CoolKit has won the prestigious title of Refrigerated Panel Van Of The Year at the 2017 TCS&D Awards.
The Temperature Controlled Storage & Distribution (TCS&D) Awards took place on Wednesday 13th September at the RICOH Arena in Coventry, recognising companies and individuals who have made a difference in the refrigeration industry. Within this category, the judges wanted to see consistent high quality standards linked with innovation, with value for money being also a major factor in the shortlisting criteria.
“It was excellent news to hear that we were shortlisted for the TCS&D Award.
It is important that we concentrate on the little details within our conversions that make a big difference in performance levels and durability, which allows us to stand out from the rest of the competition. This year, we have spent time and effort on our quality assurance; from the customer experience on our website and the way we handle enquiries, to building customer relationships and understanding their business requirements and keeping them updated throughout the design and manufacture of their vehicle. We have also focused on ensuring that our handover experience and the after-sales service provided reflect our high standards.
It is extremely important for us to constantly source feedback from our customers on every aspect of our business; they are the users of our products daily and they shape the way we evolve what we do.
It was an honour to have won the award. We have built a business with enthusiastic and dedicated individuals passionate about our product offering and creating perfect solutions for our growing customer base. Even with a perfect product offering, we would be unable to achieve greatness and 100% customer satisfaction without a great team of people within the business and it is a real pleasure to take the trophy back to the office.
So, this award is dedicated to all our growing customer base and our dedicated workforce. Thank you for making us the industry-leaders in refrigerated vehicles”
