The award recognises local businesses that have demonstrated consistent growth and contribution to the local economy, as well as a commitment to innovation in their field.

Stiebel Eltron UK saw a 10 per cent year-on-year turnover increase in 2018, leading to an expansion of the current team.

This growth has also been supplemented by new product launches, including the DCE range of instantaneous water heaters.

Mark McManus, managing director at Stiebel Eltron UK, said: “It’s brilliant for the organisation to receive this recognition from the local business community, particularly following such a strong year. The award is testament to the hard work of the team in driving fantastic results, and our continual focus on improving the technology that powers the UK’s renewable power sector.”

Mr McManus continued: “Energy efficient products are going to have a key role to play in the UK's future, as sustainability rises up the agenda of central government in order to combat climate change. We’re proud to have the opportunity to play a major role in this change and provide products that can harness the power of electricity as it becomes the primary source of green energy in the future.”
