Commerce Business Systems (CBS) is celebrating after being shortlisted for two BOSS Awards in its first year of entering the prestigious workplace supplies industry awards.
We are delighted to have been selected as a finalist for both the Dealer of the Year and Outstanding Workplace Award, with the winners to be announced at the BOSS Awards ceremony on Thursday 26th November in Manchester.
The BOSS Awards organisers described the quality of this year’s submissions as “outstanding”, making the judging process more difficult than ever. For CBS, being shortlisted in two categories is a fantastic achievement and recognition of the continued growth and development of the business.
Being shortlisted for Dealer of the Year reflects just how far CBS has come. What started as a managed print business has grown into a much broader business, helping customers with everything from IT support, telecoms and cyber security to office supplies, furniture and workplace solutions.
The Outstanding Workplace Award is particularly special because CBS has always been about its people. As we’ve grown, we’ve continued to invest in our team through recruitment, training, apprenticeships and opportunities to develop, while making sure we don’t lose the friendly, supportive culture that makes CBS what it is.
Managing Director John Green said:
“We’re incredibly proud to be shortlisted for two BOSS Awards in our first year of entering. We’ve worked hard to grow the business and broaden what we can offer our customers, but we’ve always wanted to do that without losing the personal service and the culture that make CBS what it is.
“To be recognised in both a business and workplace category means a great deal to us. It’s a reflection of the whole team and the way everyone at CBS works together.”
John added:
“We’d also like to thank our customers for their continued trust and support. We wouldn’t be where we are without them, and we’re very proud of the relationships we’ve built over the years.”
CBS will join fellow finalists at the BOSS Awards ceremony in Manchester on 26th November, when the winners will be announced.
With strong competition across both categories, CBS is delighted to be shortlisted and we wish all 2026 finalists the very best of luck.
Fingers crossed for the big night!
