the awards... Nominations for the APEA Industry Awards have kicked off to a good start. Entry forms and full details on the judging criteria can be obtained from Jane Mardell at admin@apea.org.uk. The closing date for nominations is 12th September. Categories include Innovation sponsored by Toureen Mangan, Customer Care sponsored by Torex, Health, Safety & Environment sponsored by Shell, Personal Contribution to Industry sponsored by Elaflex, Small Enterprises sponsored by the APEA, and Quality sponsored by Coteba. Coteba is a market leader in the provision of project management services in the field of petrol retail in the UK and across Europe, and are delighted to be able to support the APEA in this area. “Why quality?”, asks Mark Goldsworthy of Coteba, “Quality is the cornerstone of all we do, not only in the products we deliver for our clients but in the people, processes and supply chain we use to deliver such products… We’re hoping that entrants from not only suppliers or manufacturers apply, but also that providers of services or processes be encouraged to enter too.”

A
Comedy Club-style evening featuring a consummate stand-up with acid wit, an Aussie with multiple personalities, an ex-championship boxer and the son of an East End villain should provide a hugely enjoyable and memorable evening.
