Record year for A.S.A.P. Supplies Ltd

Beccles based marine equipment suppliers, A.S.A.P. Supplies Ltd have reported a record year, reaping the benefit of a range of investments which has seen the company's turnover grow by an impressive 8% in 2010/11 touching £3M turnover for the first time in its 23 year history.

Many of the changes adopted by A.S.A.P over the past year have been going on behind the scenes with enhanced customer service uppermost in mind. They include increased stock holding to meet orders without delay, a new accounting system to improve service and efficiency and a restructured sales and management team to ensure the best use of in-house resources as well as significant investment in a new one-stop-shop website to ensure quick and efficient ordering and fulfillment.

The company has seen a significant increase in its web-based orders and has managed to both streamline its operations and gain new business to achieve the impressive overall growth in its turnover.

Visitors to the A.S.A.P stand at the recent Tullett Prebon London Boat Show will also have noticed a new, fresh-looking exhibition stand intended to highlight A.S.A.P's wide range of marine equipment and high standards of service.

CEO and Co-Founder, Peter Edwards commented, "This has been a tough but exciting year for A.S.A.P Supplies. It's great to see our customer base expanding and we thank every one of them for continuing to use us. Customers are our business and we will continue to deliver the high level of service that our customers expect of us."

Operations Director, Shaun Wigley continued, "Our business culture is based around our customers and customer satisfaction, ensuring that we offer the best service. The outstanding results achieved this year reflect this."

Shaun Wigley last month won the Scott Deverell Young Businessperson of the Year Award in recognition of his work in restructuring A.S.A.P.
