The Staffordshire Chamber Business Awards took place on Thursday, 4 July to celebrate the achievements and outstanding performance of businesses across the region.

We were shortlisted for three categories at this year’s Awards and we are delighted as well as proud to report that SOS did extremely well in all three categories

Manufacturer of the Year – ‘highly commended’

The judges looked at all aspects of the manufacturing process including product design, testing, development, production, marketing, sales and overall business performance relating to a new product or product range, or an existing product that continues to lead the way within its field.

Environment/Low Carbon Award – ‘finalists’

This award recognised organisations that demonstrated a proactive approach to protecting the environment and reducing their carbon footprint. Judges looked for innovative solutions that had had a dramatic impact in terms of energy efficiency, resource management and environmental impact.

Science, Technology & Innovation Award –

WINNERS

Sponsored by Michelin and ‘awarded to a company that has utilised science, technology or innovation over the past three years (since April 2016) to enhance an aspect of business performance. The judges are looking for an idea, product, method or process new to a business and preferably new to the business sector too.
