Toyota scoops supplier award

City Facilities Management (City FM) has recently awarded Toyota Material Handling UK the prestigious supplier of the year award.

Glasgow-based City FM, which provides a one stop shop for facilities management and cleaning services to ASDA stores nationwide, held its inaugural supplier of the year award to judge the performance of major service providers to the supermarket chain.

Toyota fought off competition from not only competitors within the materials handling equipment industry but from a wider area to claim the title of supplier of the year.

Craig Bonnar, managing director of City FM and head of ASDA store services explains: "Toyota have instigated a method of contract management that is industry leading and has delivered a consistent high level of performance and achieved year on year cost savings to the business. Their unit availability on a fleet of over 1200 trucks has never been less than 97.5%."
