Unique Window Systems could be set to build on its impressive track record of award wins.
Following its success in winning the Outstanding Growth and Business of the Year categories at the Leicestershire Business Awards 2023, staged by East Midlands Chamber, the company has now been nominated for the UK-wide Chamber Business Awards 2024.
The rapidly growing fabricator of PVCU and aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling has been shortlisted in the Local Economy of the Future, Business of the Year category.
This award recognises businesses that have seen exceptional levels of growth and that have strong plans for sustainable future success, meaning they are set to make a significant long-term contribution to their local and the wider UK economies.
The category is also open to companies that have shown an exceptional commitment to their local economy over the last year, perhaps through their work with local stakeholders or community organisations.
The Chamber Business Awards are seen as a flagship event in the UK business calendar. They recognise and promote the ‘Best of British’ through a series of regional heats which then culminate in a UK-wide final that showcases winners on an international stage.
Unique’s Leicestershire Business Award wins and subsequent nomination for the Chamber Business Awards follow a remarkable period of growth for the company. In a two year period, the business has seen its turnover almost double from £20.8 million to £39.2 million. During the same period, Unique’s team has also grown by 50% – from 200 to 300 employees.
Unique attributes this impressive expansion to a combination of factors. This includes the quality of its products, its short order lead times and competitive pricing, its entrepreneurialism, and the personable service it can offer as a business that remains proudly family owned.
Speaking of the nomination for the Chamber Business Awards 2024, Neal Addison, Finance Director at Unique, said: “We fully recognise the value and importance of awards. Not only are they a genuine source of pride for our team but they give customers independent verification of our quality focused and results orientated approach.
“We are honoured to be shortlisted for a Chamber Business Award and especially given there are 52 chambers across the UK, collectively representing over 50,000 member businesses.”
Shevaun Haviland, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, added: “It is a huge achievement to make the shortlist of the Chamber Business Awards.
“The standard of entrants is always incredibly high, and Unique can be rightly proud to have been judged among the strongest contenders for these top awards.
“It is a testament to the company’s performance, its ethos and the dedication of its staff as well as a ringing endorsement of the strategy it has taken and the success it has achieved.”
The winners of the Chamber Business Awards 2024 will be announced on Thursday 17th October. A Winner of Winners will then be announced at the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday 20th November.
