DBS Supply Chain Awards 2024
On Friday 17th January 2025 DBS held our 9th annual Supply Chain Partner Presentation designed to inform our top sub-contractors and suppliers of how we have performed over the last finanical year, and what our plans and expectations are for the year ahead.
We are aware that as a business we are only as good as the supply chain we employ, which is why we use this event to celebrate those who have gone above and beyond to support us throughout the year.
