We are proud to announce that BIC has been recognized among the top 30 global supply chains at the prestigious 2025 Leaders in Supply Chain Awards, organized by Alcott Global. 

Thank you to Gary Horsfield, Group Supply Chain Officer & Category Leader Blade Excellence, who represented BIC at the awards and was among the top 30 Leaders in Supply Chain winners. His leadership has played a pivotal role in transforming BIC’s supply chain into one that is locally focused, regionally connected, and globally leveraged. 

This year’s awards brought together 280 leading companies and 338 nominated executives from around the world, highlighting the very best of modern supply chain leadership: bold, resilient, and people-driven. Nominees were evaluated by a distinguished jury of supply chain leaders and academics, with selections based on rigorous criteria such as leadership experience, end-to-end supply chain responsibility, digital transformation achievements, and team development strategies. 

This recognition reflects the industrial excellence of our supply chain — resilient, efficient, and people-driven — as well as the outstanding results our teams continue to deliver every day. 

Under Gary’s leadership, our supply chain teams have: 

• Fostered engagement and collaboration across regions 

• Enhanced customer satisfaction through data-driven excellence 

• Built a more agile and sustainable supply chain with regionalized production and localized sourcing 

These efforts have strengthened service reliability while also significantly reducing our environmental footprint.  

This award is a tribute to what we can achieve together — reconnecting supply chain to the business, creating competitive advantage, and delivering lasting impact.
