Company Recognized By UK's North East Business Awards
Kilfrost has been recognized at the finals of the North East
Business Awards, winning the Export award for its increasing global
operations and influence. It was also runner-up in the contest for
Company of the Year at an April 14th ceremony held in Sedgefield,
UK.
Kilfrost was presented with the Export award in recognition of
its moves to generate substantial and sustained increases in export
activity. Kilfrost's products, manufactured in the North East, are
exported across the globe, with its de-icing solutions helping
airports from Frankfurt to Anchorage stay operational. By ensuring
transport hubs remain open, Kilfrost helps economies and businesses
save millions in lost productivity and revenue across international
markets.
Kilfrost was commended for its track record in selling products
and additionally for its skill in overcoming barriers to expand
into new marketplaces. Kilfrost's pioneering expansion into new
markets in the Far East has seen the company become a leading
representative of the North East region across the globe.
"We are thrilled to win the Export awards, as the judges
recognised the contribution Kilfrost has made in building the
reputation of firms in the North East nationally and
internationally," said Gary Lydiate, Chief Executive of Kilfrost.
"Our solutions keep business critical operations functioning, even
in the most extreme of weather conditions. It is immensely
rewarding to be commended for our work in helping to ensure vital
travel routes remain open, which ultimately delivers huge returns
for individuals, businesses and economies by minimising lost
productivity and inconvenience.
"Through the dedication and expertise of our team we maintained
the supply of our anti-icing and de-icing products to clients
across 50 countries and five continents last year. We continue to
build a world-class team as we expand our product range and enter
new markets across the globe."
Kilfrost reached the Regional Finals of the North East Business
Awards having won the Tyneside and Northumberland regional
competition. The North East Business awards are sponsored by
organizations such as UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and
HSBC.
