Express Merchants and Breeze: Procure with Ease Celebrate Multiple National Award Shortlistings and Official Trademark Recognition
14th Aug 2025
Portadown-based procurement innovators Express Merchants are celebrating a remarkable run of national recognition, with their platform Breeze: Procure with Ease shortlisted for multiple prestigious awards across the UK and Ireland — and now officially trademarked.
In recent weeks, the company has been named as a finalist in:
- Facility Management Awards UK – Innovation in Technology & Systems
- UK National Sustainability Awards 2025 – Supply Chain Initiative of the Year
- Business in the Community Awards – Responsible Product / Service Award
- Business in the Community Awards – Responsible Technology Innovation Award
- Business All Stars – Facilities Management App of the Year
Alongside these organisational accolades, Tim Jameson, Managing Director of Express Merchants and creator of Breeze, has been personally shortlisted for ‘Innovation Entrepreneur of the Year’ at The Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
The recent awarding of the Breeze: Procure with Ease trademark marks another key milestone for the company, cementing its position as a pioneering platform in facilities management procurement. Breeze enables large organisations to streamline their supply chain, access a vast network of approved suppliers, and source locally — reducing downtime, lowering carbon emissions, and supporting sustainable procurement practices.
Speaking on the announcement, Tim Jameson said:
“To be recognised across so many respected awards, from sustainability to technology innovation, is a huge honour for the whole team. The trademarking of Breeze is the next step in our growth journey as we continue to scale in the UK, Ireland, and beyond. It’s proof that our vision for smarter, greener, and more transparent procurement is resonating with the industry.”
With multiple award ceremonies taking place in the coming months, Express Merchants is set to showcase Breeze’s impact on procurement efficiency and sustainability on some of the UK and Ireland’s biggest business stages.
