Paxmans Score Hat Trick At The Huddersfield Examiner Business Awards

Paxman is delighted to announce that it has won The HSBC International Business of The Year Award at The 2011 Huddersfield Examiner Business Awards.   

To win this category Paxman demonstrated an outstanding ability to overcome barriers to promote international sales that have created jobs and benefited the region’s economy.

Paxman was identified as having a major presence in the UK, and in the past 12 months has seen success in more than 20 new countries across Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and the Americas. The firm has also showcased its products at healthcare exhibitions in Brazil, China, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, the USA and the United Arab Emirates.

The awards ceremony took place on Thursday 3^rd November at the Galpharm Stadium in Huddersfield and was hosted by BBC Look North presenter Harry Gration.

Upon accepting his award, Operations Director Richard Paxman said: “We are thrilled to have won The HSBC International Business of The Year Award and be recognise d for our achievements. We have entered about 20 new markets over the last 12 months yet we are still only scratching the surface, especially in the large markets of Japan and the USA. We have a turnover of £2m now, but we hope to turn that into a £50m turnover over the next five years which will have a massive impact on the number of jobs we can create.”

In total the Paxman family won three awards on the night with Paxman Cooler’s sister company Brewfitt Ltd, winning The University of Huddersfield Innovation Award for its latest innovations CoolTube and 2Flow, developed by Neil Paxman. Working together, one simple change of the coolant flow rate will change the temperature of a dispense product instantly.

To complete the hat trick, cousin Eric Paxman won the Britannia Rescue New Business of the Year Award for his restaurant; ‘Eric’s Restaurant’ which opened its doors in Lindley a year ago and has enjoyed amazing success and glowing reviews.

These award wins mark the end of a highly successful year for the entire Paxman family, with 2012 already promising to be a year of great opportunity and continued success.
