Latest stage of a £20m investment programme was a 930m2 factory extension and a host of finishing kit. Meanwhile, a clever focus on environmental performance reduced energy requirements and 70 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. “The financials,” said the judges, “speak for themselves, but the strategy that delivers those results has to be admired - by any measure this is an incredible business.”

“This story,” insisted the judges, “just gets better and better,” especially
in the past year. Turnover rose over 13% to almost £8.6m, margins grew, the company relocated to Redhill, and it secured £1m of new business - good work in a market “dominated by much larger businesses,” added the judges.
