Investment in machinery and product development by Huddersfield-based fabricator John Fredericks has been recognised with the award of SME of the Year title in the annual Business for Calderdale Awards.
The criteria for the category was to “show outstanding initiative, boldness and imagination in the enterprise, as well as sound management practices” and “demonstrate a degree of commercial success that is exceptional for the size of the business.”
One of the contributing factors to this success has been the launch of the Ultimate Heritage range of windows and doors, and in particular the Flush Sash with Genus Joinery, says the company.
Managing director Mark Dicconson said of the award. “It’s testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone at the company and showcases our vision and determination.
“As a company, we’ve been trading continuously for more than 53 years and throughout that time we’ve constantly strived to provide our customers with the very best products and exceptional service.”
Nick Worsnop, Chair of the Business for Calderdale Committee, added: “The Judges all found it no easy task to choose the winners from the hundreds of nominations. The drive, entrepreneurial spirit, and unwavering effort are commendable, and it is important that we come together and celebrate this excellence in our business community.”
