“We at Oconbrick are proud to have been successfully nominated for Arrow Award in the category of PMR.africa Construction Industry Leaders and Achievers Award. This is our sixth consecutive PMR Award, an achievement that reflects our service and dedication to the construction industry and the clients whom we serve” said Mariana Lamont, Regional Sales Manager for Oconbrick.

The annual PMR Awards aim to enhance excellence and set bench marks in different industries. The awards are a culmination of independent research undertaken via a random sample of industry retailers and construction company representatives into the performance of brick manufacturers and suppliers of formwork and scaffolding. This 2014 PMR Gold Arrow Award is a reflection of Oconbricks’ undisputed leadership and service excellence within the South African Construction sector. “One of our strengths at Oconbrick is our capability to deliver high volumes as per client requirements. We always strive to provide a superior service to our customers. We have a great team at Oconbrick who put in a great deal of effort and focus to achieve this high customer satisfaction rating. What pleases us tremendously is that the PMR Awards are awarded from a national survey, and we have been chosen as supplier of choice even though we are only based in Gauteng. That is quite a feather in our cap” said Lamont.

Lamont commented “Behind every company’s success, is a successful team of sales, operational and marketing personnel. This PMR Gold Arrow Award is a tribute to them; their efforts and quest for impeccable service delivery, which we at Oconbrick have yet again been recognised for”.
