The awards, held in the Great Hall at King’s College and hosted by BBC journalist and presenter Bill Turnbull, celebrated the achievements of companies in the Cambridge region, all the more impressive taking into account the tough financial climate of the past year.
“Receiving the Business of the Year has topped off a fantastic 12 months for Plextek,” said Colin Smithers, MD at Plextek. “Our achievements in the last year have been down to achieving significant growth in international markets. This growth has been sustained through the company’s successful modification of its business model to extend from pure design to include niche contract manufacturing. Cambridge is a hub of innovation and engineering so to be named Business of the Year is a great credit to Plextek and its staff.”
