Feritech was proud to be chosen as a finalist in the IOE&IT International Trade awards for 2023. This was the very first year that these awards have been held.
Feritech was nominated in the ‘Sustainable Trade’ award category alongside The Hilditch Group and the eventual winners, RS.
The awards were announced at the Import Export Show which took place on 15th November 2023 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, London. The aim of the awards was to recognise quality and innovation in global trade. Any organisation around the world operating internationally, regardless of size, sector or industry, as well as individuals and teams, could enter the awards. Micro businesses, SMEs, large businesses, traders and professionals from across the supply chain were encouraged to seek recognition for their achievements.
The inaugural Import Export Show brought together senior figures from the global trade community, including a line-up of key business leaders and policymakers, to address how international trade can deliver for the UK.
The Sustainable Trade category aimed to shine the spotlight on businesses with demonstrable evidence of having placed environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues at the forefront of how they trade. Judges said they were looking for a business that not only talks the talk but also delivers, placing ESG at the heart of all they do and reaping positive rewards as a result.
Feritech MD, Rob Ferris, said:
“Many congratulations to RS on their well-deserved win. We were delighted to be selected as a Finalist and to be in such prestigious company, alongside two of the leading export companies in the UK. I was especially pleased to see us nominated for a sustainability award. This is something that is very close to our hearts and has been a driving force that has shaped the design of our new Innovation Centre, where we have set out to prove that advanced manufacturing can work in harmony with the environment.
“To be selected as one of the top three companies in the UK for sustainable trade is a huge honour and we are very proud of the achievement.”
