Birkby firm’s Superbrand accolade
A PAVING supplier based in Huddersfield has retained its place among Britain’s top brands.
Birkby-based Marshalls PLC has been officially named as a Business Superbrand in the influential annual survey that identifies the UK’s strongest brands as recognised by other businesses.
The survey, put together by The Centre for Brand Analysis, considers thousands of brands that are judged by both an expert panel and more than 1,900 business professionals across the UK.
The Supebrands are assessed according to quality, reliability and distinction.
Marshalls marketing director Chris Harrop said: “I’m extremely proud that Marshalls has maintained Superbrand status for the fourth year running and we are the only company in our sector to achieve this.
“The Marshalls brand has become synonymous with quality. We lead the market through innovation and excellence and we will continue to work hard to maintain this position.”
Marshalls, which has operations at Elland and Brighouse, has been manufacturing stone for footpaths, driveways and commercial settings since the 1980s.
It has supplied some of the most prestigious landmarks in the UK , including Trafalgar Square and the London 2012 Olympics Village.
The number one spot in the 2013 Superbrands survey was taken by computer giant Apple.
Superbrands UK also published the 2013 Consumer Superbrands listing, topped by Swiss watchmaker Rolex.
