Samantha Ashton, commercial director at Packaging Automation, said: “We are always trying to innovate and push ahead with new ideas, so to win this award and to have our success recognised is a great accomplishment and a well-deserved complement to our team.
“This truly gives our business growth strategy the seal of approval.”
Stephen Phipson, CEO at EEF, said: “Business growth is critical to the success of companies, local communities and the UK as a whole.
"Packaging Automation is a great example of a company that has seized the initiative, created its own opportunities and has grown stronger and more resilient as a result.
"This is justly deserved and we wish Packaging Automation continued growth success in the future.”
