A Colwick firm which designs and manufactures pharmaceutical test equipment used across the world, has been crowned this year’s Nottinghamshire Business of the Year by East Midlands Chamber.
The firm, which are based on Colwick Quays Business Park, were honoured during a gala dinner at the Nottingham Belfry on November 18.
The winner was chosen by a judging panel of the Chamber’s senior leadership and board of directors, as well as sponsors.
Scott Knowles, chief executive of East Midlands Chamber, said: “The past few years have been challenging for our business community, and yet we continue to see so many shining examples of business success across our region.
“It’s always important to celebrate these achievements and shout about the great things happening right here in Nottinghamshire. We know it is a fantastic place to do business and these organisations – many of which have worked together to maximise their impact within their sectors and communities – are doing a wonderful job.
The Business Awards ceremony, hosted by comedian Patrick Monahan, featured a raffle that raised £5,075 in total for East Midlands Chamber president Lindsey Williams’ three chosen charities this year – Focus, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and Treetops Hospice.
Lindsey, chief executive of housing association Futures Housing Group, added: “Behind every nominee and winner whose name will go up in lights are people and organisations that are truly delivering for the region. Their achievements generate employment, wealth and opportunity not just for those directly connected, but for the wider community.
“So I’m proud to see the Chamber yet again take the opportunity to bring us together and celebrate our top talent – for their success but also for what they bring to the East Midlands as a whole.”
