Regional sales manager for Ocon Brick, Mariana Lamont
commented: “We at Ocon Brick pride ourselves on ‘going the extra
mile’ to ensure that the requirements of our customers within the
construction industry are serviced in the most professional, ethical and
reliable manner and that our manufacturing and service delivery operations
are competitive and of a superior standard. This is what our reputation has
been built upon over the years, and receiving this seventh PMR Award is
testament to our efforts – we are exceptionally delighted to receive this
recognition from PMR”.
Albert Weber, managing director of the Infrastructure Specialists Group
(IS Group), Ocon Brick’s holding company, said; “One of Ocon Brick’s
strengths is our high manufacturing capability enabling us to meet our
client requirements. We have a great team at Ocon Brick who have put in a
great deal of effort and focus in order to achieve this seventh PMR Award.
An interesting point is that these PMR Awards are awarded from a national
survey, and we have consistently been chosen as supplier of choice even
though we are only based in Gauteng. That is quite a coup.”
This 2015 PMR Gold ArrowAward is a reflection of Ocon Bricks’ excellence
in product range and quality, reputation management, pricing, environmen-
tally friendly solutions, sustainable development practices, reliable delivery
and customer service.
“Our sales and marketing teams in conjunction with our operational
personnel are the real engine-rooms behind this seventh PMR Award. It is
their efforts and dedication that has enabled Ocon Brick to continue on its
award-winning pathway. This PMR Gold Arrow Award is a tribute to them
and their quest for impeccable service delivery,” added Lamont.
The annual PMR Awards aim to enhance excellence and set benchmarks
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.
