This is the second award we have been presented with in the two years that the awards have been in operation - a fantastic achievement for the Company.
Roger Baker, and Dave O’Donoghue, Vectair Export Sales Managers accepted the award from Rory Pereira, Director of Trade at UKTI, and Richard West, formerly of McLaren and Williams Formula 1 teams, at the UKTI International Awards dinner at Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands on Thursday 22 March.
Rory Pereira commented:
"Vectair Systems is a company synonymous with innovation, energy and flair, and it has made significant progress in entering growth markets in Asia, the Middle East, Russia and South Africa. It has immersed itself in the new marketplaces and developed multi-lingual personnel and local staff to provide an added dimension, which broadens its international potential and attraction of the company. Translating a robust strategy into capturing lucrative sales, the company's total export turnover has increased by more than double between 2004 -2006. It is therefore a very deserving winner of the Emerging Market Award".
Lewis Scott, Director of Trade & Investment at UKTI South East, also commented:
“Vectair Systems deserve our praise. Moving into an overseas market can seem a daunting step, and doing so into an emerging, high growth, market even more so. But the rewards can be significant and Vectairs’ success confirms that UK firms have the capability to seize such opportunities.”
These awards were the culmination of a series of events that took place across the South East in March as part of UKTIs’ International Month.
