Keyfix scoops Manufacturer and Supplier of the Year Award
Posted on 01 Nov 2024
Having provided the construction industry with a time and cost-saving product that truly enhances building safety and quality, Keyfix recently won the Manufacturer & Supplier of the Year Award at the Wates Group’s London Supply Chain event.
As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of non-combustible cavity solutions and a company that delivers highly innovative and effective products to help clients meet buildability, quality, and sustainability standards, Keyfix takes great pride in being acknowledged by the industry.
John Duffin, Managing Director at Keyfix, was delighted to see the hard work of the talented Keyfix team being recognised with the prestigious Manufacturer & Supplier of the Year Award. He said: “We’re just absolutely thrilled. It is an incredible honour for us to receive this award. It’s testimony to the hard work and dedication of the great team at Keyfix and this award goes to each and every one of them. We’d like to thank Wates for the great day and for awarding us with this achievement.”
For Keyfix, winning the award was the result of a fierce determination to provide the construction industry with a product that’s simple to understand, easy to install, and avoids the need for future alterations. Keyfix’s A1 fire rated Non-Combustible Cavity Tray System (NCCT) is fully BBA certified and approved by Premier Guarantee and LABC Warranty. Keyfix NCCT is manufactured using non-combustible Grade 304 austenitic stainless steel that won’t contribute to fire loading, ensuring the highest standards of fire resistance for the building.
With a rapid-build system that features a unique design that enables the stainless steel tray to be self-supporting across the cavity and requires no support from the internal structure, the NCCT is commercially viable and suitable for any relevant project.
The innovative NCCT system comes with split pins, designed to pin overlapping trays together to ensure simple and efficient installation, saving valuable time on-site. Furthermore, with no connection with the inner skin, the NCCT is not affected by issues associated with thermal bridging and differential movement.
The event, held at 10 Union Street in London on Tuesday 24th September, brought together industry leaders and decision-makers, acknowledging the incredible talent throughout the built environment and shining a spotlight on companies leading the way in innovation and sustainability.
