And here are the winners:

• The development of creative ideas and a continuous drive to approach Harwin with new marketing opportunities were the qualities credited in Marketing Communications Manager Charlene Hughes’ award nomination. As part of TTI’s USA team, Charlene worked to organise webinars hosted by TTI. She also developed a brochure of high-reliability components from Harwin that will be available shortly.
• As TTI’s General Manager in Turkey, Biran Yılmaz led her team to become the biggest sales branch for Harwin in the country.
