Langley Holdings' Bradman Lake division were awarded the inaugural Nestlé UK and Ireland 2014 Supplier Award in the category of Best Innovation Indirect, at the recent Nestlé Supplier Awards 2015 event.
This Nestlé award is to recognise a company which has introduced an effective and innovative approach in their category that has significantly helped service to their business. Their judges focused on companies that have demonstrated genuinely proactive and innovative thinking, and collaborative approach delivering a solution that goes far beyond the day to date requirement of the business.
The Bradman Lake Group submission was based upon the work undertaken with Nestlé PTC in regards to "flexible future proof flow wrapping" and Nestlé York "the many facets of Nestlé’s Kit Kat" in the delivery of a flexible packaging cell, providing Nestlé with the ability to effectively supply product to market with various shelf ready packaging formats.
