Sandon scoops two business awards

Business awards are organized annually by the UK’s Halton Chambers of Commerce. In this year’s edition, Sandon Global has been named the ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ for demonstrating how its improvement program has directly benefited its customers, and how its approach to new product development and innovation, allows the company to diversify into new markets. Sandon has also received the ‘Business of the Year’ award judged across all 15 award categories.

‘Sandon Global is a shining example of the strength and depth of technical skills and talent within the Halton Borough,’ said Rachel Owen, CEO of Halton Chamber. ‘I understand that Sandon’s new bespoke facility is expected to create up to 10 apprenticeships each year plus 30 skilled jobs over the next five years. Reinforcing the decision made by our panel of judges to select Sandon Global for the ‘Business of the Year’ title this year.’

John Millington, Sandon Global CEO, added: ‘I am extremely proud to have received both awards, which are testament to our dedicated, loyal and highly skilled team; working alongside our international network of specialist agents. We are currently preparing for a significant step change in our business. Regardless of the political landscape and uncertainty, we have spent time researching and challenging our strategies to the point where we have the conviction and skills to build on our ongoing success. Being recognized by Halton Chamber is very humbling, but also reassuring that we are on the right path. The next chapter in the history of our business is one that excites, motivates and drives our business and its people.’

This news follows the recent announcement of a new site for the advanced manufacturing business. The new UK headquarter is reported to provide extra manufacturing capacity and contain a state-of-the art research and development function.
