The awards, which were held at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool, bring together regional winners for an overall national celebration of excellence in the UK’s manufacturing sector. A-SAFE were recognised not just for their focus on developing unique safety solutions, but also their exceptional overseas growth, accounting for over 75% of the company’s total profits in 2016.
A-SAFE were able to showcase their RackEye product – a combined device, remote app and digital dashboard that provides 24/7, real-time monitoring of racking structures, alerting users remotely when damage is detected.
The company have also been named in the HSBC International Track 200, a nationally recognised league table that ranks the 200 UK’s mid-market private companies with the fastest-growing international sales. A-SAFE were ranked in 82nd place on the list after averaging 48.5% growth in international sales over the past two years.
“To be recognised in both a national league table and awards ceremony in the same month is a fantastic achievement for us,” said James Smith, co-owner and director of A-SAFE. “We started out as a small business, and each of these achievements is confirmation that we’re driving the business forward and embracing A-SAFE’s exceptional growth.”
