Despite the challenges posed by current global economic conditions, UK companies like Le Mark are still very much 'out there' competing on the International stage and the 2011 International Trade awards celebrate these ventures & successes.
The 12 regional finalists will be invited to the UK final at a prestigious Gala Luncheon and Awards presentation at the House of Lords where three national award categories winners will be announced. Le Mark were selected for the SME category, as a company who shown outstanding International Trade achievement with annual sales not exceeding £10 million.
Stuart Gibbons MD of Le Mark, having recently returned from a business development trip to South America commented: "This is extremely exciting for the whole company in particular the Export Team lead by Matthew Every. We also appreciate the incredibly efforts of our manufacturing & production department (picture shows Le Mark's new production facility) who have worked so hard to ensure we meet the deadlines needed to compete within an international market".
"As a Huntingdon Manufacturer we are extremely pleased to have competed and then be shortlisted with our esteemed 'high tech' colleagues based in Cambridge and the surrounding counties. Once again it proves that with vision, perseverance and dedication
British SME's like Le Mark can be an important part of the British Export drive! To win our regional heat would be incredible of course, however to be selected as a 'Finalist' we believe is a fantastic achievement"
Never a company to rest on its laurels, Le Mark are planning their next export drive where in October they will launch a new product range at the LDI show in Orlando, Florida.
Le Mark will have to wait until 22nd September where the regional finalist will be announced at the Doubletree by Hilton in Cambridge.
