Ener-G receives acclaim at National Business Awards
Sustainable-energy group Ener-G has been named 3i private business of the year in the National Business Awards, beating off competition from 10 other finalists — including Iceland Foods and Camelot UK Lotteries. Ener-G impressed the judges with exceptional financial performance, strong leadership, impressive domestic and international growth, relentless commitment to innovation, customer focus, staff engagement and market prominence in its sector.
Over the last financial year, Ener-G’s group turnover grew from £97 million to £127 million. The company was founded in 1997 and designs, manufactures, finances and delivers renewable and energy-efficient technologies. The company has over 760 employees internationally, with exports accounting for 47% of business.
In a video message to the awards ceremony at Grosvenor House in London, Prime Minister David Cameron said, ‘These awards show off the best of British. You are the doers and the grafters who will get this country back on its feet — the people who will get our economy growing again. And it’s absolutely right that we should take this moment to recognise what you do.’
One of the judges, Matthew Streets, CFO of Foster + Partners, said, ‘This is an extremely impressive UK engineering company, spun out of a UK university, with robust financials and a fantastic international footprint.’
