G-Awards Component Supplier of the Year MILA has had another endorsement of its performance, winning an ‘exceeding organisation’ rating from consultants Grant Thornton.

Grant Thornton independently audited Mila’s entire supply chain, analysing everything from how it manages its inventory to how its warehouse and transport operations perform, giving it a score of 2.7 out of 4, putting it alongside some of the UK’s biggest and most successful businesses.

One of the areas which Grant Thornton singled out for praise was Mila’s handling of the Chinese New Year. For any company which sources product from the Far East, the factory shutdown which accompanies the Chinese New Year represents the biggest annual challenge.

Managing director Richard Gyde said: “I’m not sure many customers appreciate the scale or the complexity of our supply chain operation and that’s exactly how it should be. 

All that matters to them is that when they place an order with Mila, it arrives with them on time and in full, and we certainly pride ourselves on the fact that our customers can take our reliability for granted.”
