These two partners came together in October 2010, when Nexans appointed Miniclipper as its sole distributor for mainland UK deliveries. Because of the strategic significance of the partnership to both parties, the Mininex team was established. This is a partnership that works well at all levels of the operation.

The judges said; “The Mininex team is superb evidence of a true partnership; working in teams with members of both parties.”
