CUPA PIZARRAS has been awarded ‘Roofing Supplier of the Year’ at the Homebuilding & Renovating Industry Awards 2021.
The company’s sustainable and innovative portfolio of natural slate, as well as its excellent service and support were both instrumental in its success.
The annual awards ceremony recognises and celebrates the very best brands and products available to the self build and renovation sector. Achieving success at the awards signifies a brand’s position as a leading company within this field, and thus competition is fierce.
The standard of the products and services offered by CUPA PIZARRAS were initially recognised by the awards panel and attained a place on the shortlist, before winning the necessary number of public votes to win the title.
CUPA PIZARRAS has attained a prominent place within the global roofing industry, supplying one out of every two natural roofing slates around the world.
A completely natural material, the company’s slate undergoes a careful extraction process, before being passed through a processing plant. which combines modern technology with traditionally skilled crafts people. The product is also regularly examined by external authorities certifying that the slate meets various national and continental standards.
Pursuing methods which avoid environmental damage has been consistently prioritised by CUPA PIZARRAS. Although natural slate is already an ecological choice, the company has invested heavily to reduce its energy consumption and CO2 emissions. As such and according to the Carbon Trust, CUPA PIZARRAS is now the first in the slate industry to be a carbon-neutral company.
Furthermore, the company utilises an innovative traceability system, enabling distributors and customers to discover specific information about all products in real time, even down to details of the hand splitter that worked on that particular batch. This has facilitated the development of strong, transparent and trusting relationships between CUPA PIZARRAS and project partners.
Hannah Wall, UK marketing manager for CUPA PIZARRAS, said: “It is wonderful that our efforts have been recognised by the self build and renovation sector.
“Every single member of the team – especially our area sales managers based around the UK – deserves immense credit for their work. Together, we are helping to establish CUPA PIZARRAS as a sustainable, trust worthy and high quality natural slate supplier, offering excellent service – and I am very proud to be a part of it.”
