EnviroVent announced as National Business Awards finalist

EnviroVent has been shortlisted for the Small to Medium Size Business of the Year for the 2015 Lloyds Bank National Business Awards. EnviroVent is a Harrogate-based company that designs and manufactures innovative and eco-friendly ventilation solutions that are sold across residential and commercial sectors including newbuild and renovation markets.

Going up against other finalists, EnviroVent will compete for the prestigious award, with the winner being revealed at the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards gala dinner held on 10 November at Park Lane’s Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

EnviroVent’s managing director Andy Makin said: “It is fantastic to be shortlisted for SME Business of the Year. This comes at a very exciting time for our company as we have seen significant growth in sales over the past 12 months and our profits have increased by 78 per cent. At EnviroVent, we place a strong emphasis on innovation and teamwork, which has been key to our success and have some very exciting expansion plans for the future. This news about the award has given the team a real boost and we now look forward to the finals in November!”

An all encompassing range of industries are represented in the shortlists for this year’s awards, with companies from recruitment and children’s clothing, to pet food and online marketing being selected for the chance to win a coveted Lloyds Bank National Business Award. The scale of the finalists is just as varied, with companies turning over less than a million pounds to over £25 million, employing 20 people or over 70,000 people.

Tom Broughton, Programme Director of the National Business Awards said: “The quality and range of this year’s entries exceed even those of last year, which is no mean feat. The draw of being involved with the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards has seen companies from all kinds of industries submit applications, which have been narrowed down using our thorough and comprehensive scoring system. We are now looking forward to the next step in the judging process and meeting some of the finalists face-to-face.”

Finalists were chosen from the hundreds of businesses that entered or were nominated across 18 award categories. They will now prepare for live presentations to expert judges who will decide the overall winners that will be revealed at the awards ceremony on 10 November.
