WB POWER SYSTEMS CROWNED KOHLER 2022 EMEA DISTRIBUTOR OF THE YEAR

Kohler’s largest distributor in Europe, Derbyshire based WB Power Services, has been recognised for its dedication and commitment to its critical power services by being awarded the accolade of 2022 EMEA Distributor of the Year.

Following the success of its authorised distributer partnership with Kohler, which began in 2004, WB Power Services announced the expansion of the arrangement in 2022, giving the critical power provider exclusive distributorship rights to service and sell spare parts to all data centres in England, Scotland and Wales.

Building on this partnership, the Kohler EMEA Distributor of the Year Award recognises WB Power Services for a range of achievements at an operational level and for its strategic customer support.

Specifically, Kohler praised WB Power Services for its focus on constantly improving service levels for customers and investing in resources which include new business systems and additional staff. Providing a diverse proposition, such as the ability to offer expert knowledge and a high level of service across all areas of power generation, including installations, product sales, hire, maintenance, and spare parts was also praised.

WB Power Services has also invested over £7m in new equipment and business streams, such as standard product sales and spare parts, which has resulted in demonstrable growth. This has also influenced an increase in performance across core operational sectors, benefitting overall financial performance.

Finally, Kohler was impressed with WB Power Service’s ongoing emphasis on renewable energy, after building an actionable, measurable and industry leading CSR strategy, citing its investment in Stage V and HVO technologies as industry leading Commenting on the Award, WBPS Managing Director Andrew Wilmott said: “We are thrilled to have won the Kohler EMEA Distributor of the Year Award. It recognises the ongoing focus across all areas of the business to build an improved service proposition and have an industry-leading offer. We are constantly striving to increase the experience for our customers and have put a range of new processes and funding in place to support this.

“The Award will strengthen our positive manufacturer-distributor relationship and will lead to further collaboration. As a result, it will enable us to continue to improve our service, delivering an ongoing exceptional customer experience.

“The entire WB Power Services team has played a part in winning this Award. We have a philosophy of fostering a family orientated culture for our employees which has helped create an engaged, dedicated and committed team which has now also been recognised by Kohler.”

WB Power Service’s enhanced partnership with Kohler extends to the leading generator manufacturer recommending its former dealers in England, Scotland and Wales to purchase spare parts directly from WB Power Services. As well as providing support to data centres, WB Power Services continue to supply all businesses who require Kohler parts, from healthcare providers, education, telecoms and the wider public sector amongst others.
