The Oil & Gas Awards announced this year's Inaugural Canada Oil & Gas Awards recipients in recognition of those companies who excel in the key areas of Health & Safety, Operational Excellence, Innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Stewardship.

Britespan Building Systems Inc. attended the Canada Oil & Gas Awards and received the Industry Supplier of the Year on Wednesday, June 24th, 2015. The annual Canada Oil & Gas Awards gala ceremony was held at The Westin Calgary, 320 4th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, where hundreds of oil and gas executives gathered together to celebrate Health and Safety, Operational Excellence, Innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Stewardship.

The Industry Supplier of the Year Award recognizes suppliers of materials and equipment to the oil and gas industry. Companies who have demonstrated reliability, gone the extra mile to provide the oil and gas sector with impressive customer service and can show details of their CSR initiatives are rewarded. Britespan Building Systems Inc. scored highest in the category with such remarks from the judges as:

"Innovative technology provides company and clients with a cost and quality advantage. Scalability is built into the product so that a building requirement can easily be plugged into virtually any industry. Attention to detail.  We take our buildings for granted, however Britespan incorporates features into the design to enhance the quality and comfort of the buildings, for example lighting, floor structure and so on. The company is responsive to the market by being strategic with inventory.  This facilitates a quick turnaround and may even represent cost savings."

"All weather, all-purpose building solution that is highly modular or permanent. Versatile in their nature and quick to construct, these systems are useful for the industry."

"I speak for our entire team at Britespan when I say we are grateful and proud to accept the 2015 Industry Supplier of the Year Award. After years of dedication and passion for what we do, we look forward to continuing to provide the best building solutions to the oil and gas industry, growing and innovating with them as an industry partner," says Ben Hogervorst, President of Britespan.
