Press Release - 02/10/06 Rotherham Chamber of Commerce Business awards Team success for Williams Fasteners Williams Brothers (Sheffield) Ltd have started once again to make big waves in the local business community. With a nomination and a subsequent win of the Invest in Skills award at Rotherham Chamber in October, Williams are putting their name firmly back on the map. Williams Brothers (Sheffield) Ltd have been trading for over 130 years as distributors of industrial fasteners. The Head office based on Shepcote Way in Sheffield, where they have the main warehouse and stock, servicing their own trade counter and satellite branches in Manchester, Norwich, Middlesbrough and South Wales. With over 22000 lines in stock and access to thousands of standard and special products within the UK and from global sources, they offer a quality service that is hard to beat! In July 2005, the company changed hands through a management but-out. After 130 years, the Williams family were no longer a part of this local Sheffield business. Tony Searles and Susan Battersby, two directors of the company, took ownership and management of the business, focusing on area's that previously had received little or no attention. The starting point was improving staff morale and commitment. The company works in partnership with employees to fund and assist with the training and identify their career paths, even when they have been working with the company for almost 30 years. Training has come at all levels. Newly appointed managers who have all the knowledge at their fingertips after working with the company for a long time have now received leadership & management training so as they offer the best to their team members. As a result of the improved motivation and staff morale the directors have now been able to focus on the next key area being sales and customer service. The emphasis is on giving the customers the right product, at the right time, at the right place. To have their success acknowledged by the Rotherham Chamber has been the ultimate accolade for the company. The directors are proud of the staff and the commitment they show to the company. The hard work that has been generated by everyone is now starting to pay off and to be nominated and win the Invest in Skills Award is a great achievment. They want to thank everyone for getting them to where they are today! Williams Fasteners Senior Management Team |
