Small but perfectly formed. Pipekit secured the gong for best Micro Business at last month’s Shropshire Star Excellence in Business Awards, beating off stern competition.
The Micro Business award, which was a new category this year, was open to businesses between 1 and 10 employees and was looking for a company that could demonstrate: dynamic leadership, tangible levels of success, smart working practices and top level customer service. Pipekit, which was launched five years ago this May by owner and M.D Martyn Rowlands, was deemed the best on the night and took home the coveted prize.
Commenting on the win, Martyn Rowlands said: “I am elated at our success and really pleased for the recognition this award bestows on the whole team. We’re small but demonstrate great strength in depth and work hard to offer high levels of technical expertise and customer service.”
He continues: “It was a very memorable night alongside some great competitors and leading businesses, so I am very honoured we were selected as one of the winners. We certainly enjoyed our moment.”
The Annscroft based team was amongst 29 businesses who battled it out for nine awards, under the historic planes of RAF Museum Cosford. Pipekit was also one of only five companies who were nominated for two awards.
Pipekit was a finalist in the Excellence In Learning & Skills category as well following its continuous investment in their apprenticeship and training programmes, despite being a young business. The award went to Fabweld Steel Products of Telford.
