ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Receives Excellence In Quality Commendation At VINCI Facilities Supply Chain Awards
This prestigious award celebrates suppliers who “showcase their excellence in quality and performance, delivering right first time every time”. The commendation was particularly meaningful as it coincided with World Quality Week, reinforcing ASSA ABLOY's unwavering commitment to quality.
Situated in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London Stadium is a multi‑purpose outdoor venue. ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions is responsible for the maintenance of 575 personnel doors and 71 roller shutter doors, ensuring their functionality and safety in a high‑pressure, live‑event environment.
The company delivers routine maintenance twice a year, supplies replacement doors as required, and provides emergency call‑out support to minimise disruptions that could impact live events.
The judges commented: “This company have been working in partnership with VINCI Facilities on a complex project with challenging conditions, ensuring the uptime, safety and compliance of critical assets.
“They have done this in an exemplary manner, working diligently within a difficult live environment supporting the various events on site and always ensuring they respond to urgent requirements.
“Providing excellence as standard in an environment where a failure can cause delay or cancellation of live events resulting in significant reputational damage brings peace of mind to our delivery.
“Their extensive knowledge in their field has provided VINCI a reliable partner to place their trust in, knowing the job gets completed on time and to exacting standards. Congratulations to ASSA ABLOY.”
Brian Sofley, Managing Director at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised by VINCI Facilities for our commitment to delivering excellence in quality and performance. Maintaining critical infrastructure at such a prestigious venue as London Stadium requires dedication, expertise, and collaboration.
“This commendation is a testament to the hard work and skill of our team, who ensure the safety and seamless operation of the stadium’s facilities. We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with VINCI Facilities and upholding our shared values of quality and reliability.”
