Accutronics shortlisted for major award

Earlier this week we learned that we've been shortlisted for the 2012 British Business Awards in the Small Business of the Year category. We’re really excited about the honour here, so we thought we’d share some details with you. 

The yearly British Business Awards celebrate exceptional performance in business and acknowledge those organisations that have made an impact in their industry sector. With nine different categories, the awards are designed to promote and encourage startups,
SMEs and large companies alike.

Participating enterprises in Small Business of the Year Award have to demonstrate solid success, be it growth or exploiting new products, production techniques, services or markets. The British Business Awards are run in conjunction with the Sentinel newspaper.

Here at Accutronics we have taken an innovative approach to all of our products and quality manufacturing has been at the forefront of our endeavors.

Our entry was covered by the Sentinel and here is what the journalists had to say:

“Today the Newcastle-under-Lyme battery firm, with its Li-on (lithium ion) range is a power house on the world stage (…)Currently employing some 45 people, it is exporting to over 30 countries and is a contender for The Sentinel Business Awards – having been nominated for the Staffordshire University-sponsored Small Business of the Year Award.”

“We are delighted to have been shortlisted for this award,” said Robert Philips, managing director at Accutronics.  “Especially since it’s the first time we’ve entered! I think being shortlisted should be regarded as a reward for the whole team’s effort. We have a great working environment with experienced people here and I think it’s starting to show in achievements like this one. So keep your fingers crossed for us,” he concluded.
