Romax to represent UK in HSBC 2010 European Business Awards

The European Business Awards, sponsored by HSBC [www.businessawardseurope.com] are delighted to announce that Nottingham based Romax Technology is to represent the UK in the prestigious 2010 Awards programme. Romax, a world leading technical consultancy with over 20 years experience in gearbox, bearing and drivetrain design within the transportation and more recently wind energy industries, successfully beat off stiff competition to be selected as one of the UK’s 25 Country Representatives and will now compete for a coveted Ruban d’Honneur in the next round of the competition.

The European Business Awards, now in their fourth successful year, have identified some of Europe’s brightest businesses based on their ability to demonstrate the three core principles at the heart of the Awards programme - innovation, business excellence and sustainability.

As a leading technical consultancy, Romax prides itself on being at the forefront of technology and its key asset is its workforce, capturing a wealth of unique expertise, technical knowledge, innovation and years of experience. This is what sets Romax apart from their competition as well as their commitment and continuous investment in research and development activities. Not only do these activities allow Romax to widen their areas of knowledge and expertise, but they also allow them to directly impact the industries they work within and improve innovation.

Over the last four years Romax has achieved significant growth averaging 28% each year company wide, particularly due to their expanding involvement in the wind energy sector.

As an SME, being selected to represent the UK alongside some of the nation’s largest organisations is an impressive achievement for Romax. Dr Peter Poon, Chief Executive of Romax Technology, said, “We’re absolutely thrilled to be selected to represent the UK in these esteemed awards. Over the last few years we have achieved exceptional growth, building up our business, now employing over 150 people in 10 offices based in 7 countries around the world. We pride ourselves not only on being at the forefront of technology but also for being an organisation that has the dedication, expertise and support of our workforce. It is an honour for us to be recognised as one of the leading UK organisations in our field. The European Business Awards are widely recognised as the showcase for Europe’s most dynamic companies and we’re looking forward to the next round of the competition where we’ll be competing to receive a Ruban d’Honneur”.

Adrian Tripp, CEO of the European Business Awards says “Over the past 4 years we’ve received an incredibly high standard of entries from organisations who are passionate about their business. However, very few get the chance to fly the flag for their country and compete across Europe to be recognised as one of the EU’s leading companies. It really is a truly exceptional accolade to be picked as a Country Representative, and together with HSBC we wish Romax Technology every success in the next round.”
