SPEKE-BASED orthopaedic aids supplier A Algeo has won a national trade award for outstanding customer service and innovation in the orthotics industry.
The award, voted for by the readers of trade magazine Assistive Technologies, was presented by broadcaster Angela Rippon to Algeo’s chairman, Alan Sheridan, at the British Healthcare Trades Association annual awards.
Mr Sheridan said: “This award is extremely important to us as it highlights the relationship between our company and our customers, and acknowledges our constant attention to innovation.
“As this award was voted for by our customers, it gives all the more recognition to our team and credits our ability to provide a high level of service and expertise in the orthotic industry.”
Algeo’s was founded in Liverpool in 1881 as a small shoe repair wholesaler, and has expanded into orthopaedic and podiatric markets where it is now the UK’s leading supplier.
It was shortlisted for the Daily Post Business Awards 2007 in the category, “international trader of the year”, in May.
