Whilst exhibiting at the AIS Show last month, Kingstown Furniture was presented with an AIS Gold Standard award. Kingstown came third in a long list of suppliers and showed how it is achieving its aim to continue to be a leading manufacturer of ready-assembled furniture.
The Gold Standard award is a coveted accolade for AIS suppliers and consists of a mixture of AIS evaluations and member feedback. Each year members grade a supplier in various aspects of product quality, performance and service. This is coupled with ongoing service statistics given by members throughout the year and an evaluation by AIS of a suppliers level of support for the group and its members. Only the highest scoring suppliers are awarded a Gold Standard Award.
In addition, AIS holds a vote by members for their supplier of the year. These votes also contribute to the Gold Standard award, and the highest three in terms of votes are awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the supplier of the year award.
Richard Sharp, Kingstown MD, says: "I would like to thank AIS for recognising us at such an important time of the year when we have launched our new KT Collection and also the Arden range. This award shows how hard the staff at Kingstown work to ensure our customers receive the best possible service. I thank the staff and want to assure everyone we will continue to carry on the hard work and hopefully achieve first position next year."
