Morris' DIY Waterford have been recognised with a Munster Regional Excellence Award at this year's Octabuild Awards.
The Waterford business on Manor Street saw off Chadwicks and McMahons of Limerick to take the Regional Excellence prize at the awards in Dublin's Mansion House on Thursday, October 13th.
The Octabuild Awards, have been recognising excellence in the builders merchant trade for over 35 years, and moved to an all-island competition for the first time this year.
Chair of the Judging Panel, Liam O’Gorman, said:
“Reviewing the submissions for the 2022 Octabuild Builders Merchant Excellence Awards portrayed an evolving landscape wherein the industry responded to a host of unprecedented challenges such as Covid 19, Climate Change, staff retention, health and upskilling along with everchanging product standards and regulations. Over the past three years the sector has shown great ingenuity and leadership in handling these issues whilst at the same time maintaining a strong focus within their local communities.”
Octabuild Chairman, Ray Molyneaux said:
“It’s important for Octabuild that the Awards highlight to the construction industry the excellence of builders merchants. We are delighted with the enthusiastic response to this first all-island awards where merchants from all over the country have put themselves and their teams forward to showcase what’s excellent in the industry.”
Morris' Waterford expressed their delight for this award, and say it is due recognition of the excellent work that goes on everyday behind the scenes to ensure continued success.
