Senior Architectural Systems has been officially presented with the King’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation following an exclusive event held at the company’s South Yorkshire manufacturing facility last week.
The company was honoured in the innovation category in recognition of the design, development, and delivery of its market-leading PURe® aluminium window system that features a patented thermal barrier to reduce heat loss and provide exceptional energy-efficiency.
The ceremony was conducted by the Lord-Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, Dame Hilary Chapman DBE and Lieutenancy Officer Phil Barraclough, who presented Senior’s managing director Mark Wadsworth with an official certificate known as a Grant of Appointment and a commemorative crystal trophy. Other notable guests included Civic Mayor of Doncaster Councillor Julie Grace, Mayor of Rotherham Sheila Cowen, Master Cutler Charles Turner from The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire and South Yorkshire High Sheriff John Baddeley.
Established in 1991, Senior has grown to become the largest privately owned aluminium fenestration systems house in the UK, and in 2015 launched its advanced low U-value PURe® aluminium system, for which it received a UK patent the following year.
Commenting, Senior Architectural Systems’ managing director Mark Wadsworth said: “Being recognised with a King’s Award for Enterprise is one of our proudest moments as a company and so it was a real honour to be able to host such a special event here at our Denaby site and to share it with all of our team. It was also a privilege to welcome the Lord-Lieutenant of South Yorkshire and our other special guests to take a tour of our facility and to see first-hand the work and innovation that goes in creating our award-winning PURe® aluminium windows and doors.”
Senior was one of the first ever precipitants of the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise following the official announcement on Friday 21st April 2023. The King’s Award for Enterprise recognises and celebrates business excellence across the UK, focusing on the four categories of innovation, sustainable development, international trade, and the promotion of opportunity through social mobility.
