Recognition Express owners came together for an energy charged annual conference recently where the branded goods specialists celebrated outstanding trading achievements.

Managing director Nigel Toplis presented Matt Bevis and Claire Lindley from Recognition Express Eastern with the franchisee of the year award. The business partners acquired the Grimsby based franchise two years ago and have more than doubled its turnover.

Landmark awards were presented to Recognition Express regions Bristol North, Bromley and Dartford, Coventry, Essex, North Scotland and Taunton for achieving their best ever sales figures during 2014.

Said managing director Nigel Toplis: “The past few years have been tough for businesses, but Recognition Express owners have proved that with a lot of hard work and determination growth and success can be achieved. We’ve carved a niche for ourselves in the corporate branded products and clothing market through delivering outstanding levels of customer service and our ability to source and supply almost any item in any quantity at a realistic price.”
