At the 2018 Sisk Supply Chain Awards ceremony in the Clayton Hotel on the last Thursday of November, STS Group was announced as the Supply Chain Partner of the Year for Ireland South, West & North – an honour which underlines the group’s high level of service and commitment to all clients and projects.
Leaders in electrical engineering, instrumentation, design and commissioning services across Ireland, the UK and Europe, STS Group beat off strong competition to be named Supply Chain Partner of the Year for Ireland South, West & North at the 2018 Sisk Supply Chain Awards.
The event took place in the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin on the 29th of November and was attended by all of Sisk’s major suppliers and contractors from Ireland and the UK.

From such a large field, only the very best are going to be recognised in the annual Sisks Supply Chain Awards!
Commenting after the prestigious awards ceremony, which was back for a second year after debuting in 2017, Stephen Bowcott, CEO, John Sisk & Son, said: “The Sisk Supply Chain Awards for 2018 was a great success. It is great to see our team carry on the momentum of last year’s inaugural awards.
