Swann Celebrates Double Success at the Cornerstone Supplier Awards 2026
Swann is proud to announce a double award win at the 2026 Cornerstone Supplier Dinner & Awards, recognising both emerging talent within the business and the company’s commitment to digital innovation across the supply chain.
The business was honoured with the Best Digital Tower Supply Chain Initiative award, alongside degree apprentice engineer Harry Clerkin receiving the Rising Star in the Cornerstone Supply Chain award.
Recognising Emerging Talent
Harry Clerkin’s award reflects the dedication, enthusiasm, and strong technical development he has demonstrated since joining Swann as a degree apprentice engineer.
The Rising Star in the Cornerstone Supply Chain (Apprentice) award recognises an exceptional early-career professional within the supply chain, celebrating individuals who demonstrate outstanding potential and commitment at the beginning of their careers.
Throughout his apprenticeship, Harry has consistently shown a willingness to learn, contribute across projects, and develop his engineering knowledge and skills, making this a well-deserved achievement.
Swann is incredibly proud of Harry’s success and looks forward to supporting his continued development within the business.
Award-Winning Digital Innovation
Swann was also recognised for the successful development and launch of its new online GDC Portal, which received the Best Digital Tower Supply Chain Initiative award.
The award is presented to the supplier who has successfully implemented the use of platforms, automation, analytics, or AI to improve delivery and visibility across the supply chain.
The Swann GDC Portal was created to address a critical operational challenge, replacing disconnected emails, spreadsheets, and manual processes with a streamlined digital solution that provides customers and internal teams with live visibility across every stage of a project — from draft submission through to completed delivery.
The result is a faster, more transparent, and more efficient workflow for everyone involved, including end clients, contractors, engineers, and supply chain partners.
The award highlights the innovation, collaboration, and forward-thinking approach behind the initiative, reinforcing Swann’s ongoing commitment to embracing digital solutions that drive operational improvements and long-term growth.
This achievement represents a genuine team effort across the business, with special thanks and recognition to Martin Maskell for his hard work and dedication in helping deliver the successful implementation of the GDC Portal.
A Proud Moment for Swann
Winning two awards at the Cornerstone Supplier Awards 2026 marks a significant milestone for the business and reflects the talent, innovation, and collaborative culture that continues to drive Swann forward.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this fantastic achievement.
