Unique took the Outstanding Growth and Business of the Year awards in Leicestershire. There are 52 chambers across the UK, collectively representing over 50,000 member businesses.
The fabricator of PVC-U and aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling has been shortlisted in the Local Economy of the Future, Business of the Year category in the national awards. 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.
Chamber Business Awards
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 a national and 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.
Shevaun Haviland, the director general of the British Chambers of Commerce says: “Unique’s impressive expansion is down to a combination of factors. This includes the quality of its products, its lead times and competitive pricing, along with its entrepreneurialism and the personable service it can offer as a business that remains proudly family owned.”
Neal Addison, the finance director at Unique, says: “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 focus and results orientated approach.
The winners of the Chamber Business Awards 2024 will be announced on Thursday 17 October. A Winner of Winners will then be announced at the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday 20 November.
