Evans Vanodine has announced that it has won Queen’s Award for Enterprise for business success in the UK
The award was presented in the International Trade category, which recognised outstanding overseas sales growth over the last three years.
The company currently exports to 72 countries worldwide, with a further 10 countries serviced by licensed manufacturing units overseas. Over the last three years new sales territories have been added such as New Zealand and South Africa, with the latter noted as being particularly promising, said the company.
Evans Vanodine reportedly bases its overseas sales strategy around expansion of its distributor network and the company uses international exhibitions and trade shows, along with multi-lingual packaging and materials, to augment expansion.
Peter Thompson, international sales manager, said, “The winning of a Queen’s award is a great honour for Evans Vanodine and is a testament to the efforts of the entire company to be the best in our field. Development of our international business is an essential cornerstone on which the future of the business is built and to be recognised with this award is confirmation that we are successful in our efforts to operate on a global scale.”
Distributors attend training courses hosted by Evans Vanodine to be equipped in terms of product knowledge and positioning so they are able to develop their sales. They are further supported by national and international company sales managers.
Its products cover an extensive range of cleaning and hygiene applications for industrial, food process and animal health sectors and one of few companies manufacturing products, which give hygiene security from the farm to the fork.
The in-house laboratories enable the company to deliver quality and consistency at every stage of the production process and the company has achieved accreditation by the British Standards Institution under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
