A REDDITCH lighting company is buzzing after being named the Small Business of the Year in the National Chamber of Commerce Awards.
The award caps off a spectacular year for Bee Lighting Ltd which also saw them win the West Midlands heats of the British Chamber Business Awards.
Colin Fulford, director of Bee Lighting, said: “We were really surprised to hear we have won, but it’s been good for everyone in the business as well as our customers, who we’ve already had positive feedback from.
“We work very hard, but I think that something like this gives everyone in the firm a real boost and motivates us.”
The firm, which started in Redditch with a team of just two 11 years ago, are recognised industry experts in interior and exterior lighting products for the automotive industry and have won contracts from big name firms including Lamborghini and Ford.
Redditch MP Karen Lumley also offered the firm her congratulations and said: “It has been a pleasure to get to know Bee Lighting through the Business Leaders initiative and they clearly exemplify the hard working entrepreneurial spirit of, not just Redditch but the whole country.”
Judges complimented the firm’s record for employing locally – now 33 staff – and growing skills from within through recruiting talented young people and allowing them to flourish.
