A Shropshire-based company has been handed the first award of its kind for reaching a global audience.
Jesmonite, based in Bishop’s Castle, was given the inaugural Global Business of the Year accolade at the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.
At a glittering ceremony in The International Centre, Telford, on Saturday (June 23) the top businesses in the county were recognised.
Piran Littleton, Managing Director of Jesmonite, said: “It is fantastic to be recognised as the best global business based in Shropshire.
“We have grown at an incredible rate over the last few years, and we are constantly looking at ways we can both continue this growth and also improve the way our business has run.
“It is an honour to work with so many incredible business people across the world and bring our product to so many people worldwide.
“A huge thank you goes to all our brilliant Jesmonite staff as we couldn’t have got this without them.”
The company now has 85 distributors which is an increase of almost 50 new distributors since 2020.
Most recently they have expanded into Slovakia, Romania, Portugal and South America.
Jesmonite beat off competitors Aviramp and Seymour Manufacturing International, both based in Telford, as well as Shrewsbury-based Telecom Infrastructure Partners to be named Global Business of the Year.
The awards ceremony also featured guest entertainer Debra Stephenson, who performed ‘The Many Voices of Debra Stephenson’ for the crowd.
