Bitrez Ltd won two innovation awards, one from Make UK (previously EEF) and the other from Made in the North West for two of their product ranges, Curaphen and Curamine.
Both ceremonies were held virtually due to the pandemic.
Bitrez was also awarded runner up in the SME of the year category by Make UK in recognition of its work in supporting local charities and academic institutes.
“I’m delighted that Bitrez has won both the Make UK Innovation Award and Made in the North West Manufacturing Innovation award," said Paul Jones, Bitrez Ltd managing director and formulator of the products. "Using creative chemistry to develop innovative products that resolve regulatory and technical problems is our raison d’être. These awards pay tribute to everyone at Bitrez who worked so hard to bring the products to market, as well as the continued loyalty of our customers and suppliers.”
“These awards are a testament to the dynamic companies and individuals working within engineering and manufacturing," said June Smith, region director for Make UK in the North of England. "The sector has been at the heart of delivering during the crisis and as we re-build our economy there will be a bright future for companies and individuals that make the most of their talent.”
Bitrez will now go forward to the national finals of the Make UK awards to compete against other regional winners across the UK.
