Additionally, Mark Terrel, national accounts manager Winsupply for LIXIL Americas, was named Vendor Account Manager of the Year.

Winsupply bestows an annual Vendor of the Year Award, primarily based upon the largest number of votes received from the more than 570 local Winsupply companies nationwide. Sales volume, sales support and leadership, and overall performance in the previous year were also important considerations in selecting the honorees.

We take great pride in accepting these recognitions and are very pleased by this prestigious acknowledgement.”

The awards were presented at the GROHE LIVE! Center in New York City on July 25, 2017. Accepting the awards on behalf of the Company were Steve Delarge, president and CEO; Chris Brown, chief sales officer; and Terrel. Presenting the awards on behalf of Winsupply were Monte Salsman, COO; Steve Edwards, CMO: Eddie Gibbs, vice president vendor relations; Amy Souders, product marketing manager and Daryn Cherry, corporate showroom manager.
