Paul Clifford, Telephone Sales at our branch in Tadley, has been presented with the award of ‘Best Performing Online Student’ by the Worshipful Company of Builders’ Merchants, in conjunction with the Builders Merchant Federation.


The Worshipful Company of Builders’ Merchants encourages education and training within the building industry and were impressed with the commitment that Paul showed throughout 2018 with his online training, via our academy learning platform.


Paul was recognised for completing 58+ online courses over the year with an average pass rate of 85% - the highest of all users using the same online learning tool. He was presented with the award at The Worshipful Company of Builders’ Merchants annual luncheon at Grocers’ Hall in London.


“It was fantastic to be presented with the award at the prestigious industry event. I received an engraved tankard and a cheque for £500 which is incredible as I’ve never won anything like this before, especially work-related”, said Paul.

“Completing all those online courses was a lot of work, but worth all the effort. They have helped me to expand my knowledge on the thousands of different products that we sell, which means I can do my job more effectively.”
