C&W Berry Celebrates Five-Trophy Win
C&W Berry's winning streak continues with another multi-award at the Builders' Merchants Awards.
We’re absolutely thrilled to share that at the BMJ Industry Awards in September, C&W Berry picked up four award wins – and was Highly Commended in another – out of nine categories we were honoured to be shortlisted for.
It’s truly humbling to be recognised by our peers – people who live and breathe the builders’ merchant world day in, day out – and this year’s results are a testament to the hard work put in by all our staff over this last 12 months.

Why This Means So Much
What sets the BMJ Awards apart is the voting. The voices belong to industry professionals; those who work in merchanting every day. That’s what makes winning – or even being commended – extra special.
These awards belong to every member of C&W Berry. Everyone from trade counter staff and transport to showroom staff, back-office and marketing – everyone played a part in our success.
Thank you also to our customers, suppliers, and everyone who supported us, voted for us, or simply cheered us on.
And We're Not Stopping There...
We’re celebrating this win – but we're also excited to share that we’ve now been named finalists in eight categories at the prestigious Builders’ Merchants Awards:
• Best Customer Service of the Year Builders’ Merchant of the Year (1–5 Branches) • Hard Landscaping Display of the Year • Heating & Plumbing Merchant of the Year • Kitchen & Bathroom Showroom of the Year • Tool Display / Showroom of the Year • Marketing Initiative of the Year • Timber Merchant of the Year •
This is an unprecedented number, and it’s a huge honour to be recognised once again among the best in the industry. We couldn’t be prouder of the team who make it all possible.
We’ll continue to build on the strengths that got us here: service, quality, innovation, and sustainability.
Thanks again to everyone who helped make this happen.
