Unique Window Systems has been crowned the Leicestershire Business of the Year by East Midlands Chamber.
The Leicester-based company, which supplies the trade, new house build and commercial markets across the UK – also won the Outstanding Growth category at the Leicestershire Business Awards.
It follows success recognition by the London Stock Exchange Group as one of the 1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain for three years in a row, having built its name as a market leader, doubling its eight-figure turnover between 2020 and 2022, and growing its team from 200 to 300 people in the same period.
The Leicestershire Business Awards recognised East Midlands Chamber members across 13 categories, ranging from Excellence in Innovation and Environmental Impact at organisational level through to individual honours for Entrepreneur of the Year and Apprentice of the Year, in addition to the overall Business of the Year winner.
Finalists, chosen by a judging panel of the Chamber’s senior leadership and board of directors, as well as sponsors, discovered their fate during a gala dinner attended by 350 people at The Venue@DMU, in Leicester.
Scott Knowles, chief exec of East Midlands Chamber, said: “The winners of our Business Awards are testament to the resilience, ingenuity and hunger for growth within the Leicestershire business community, which never ceases to amaze.
“Despite some of the relentless challenges that have been thrown their way, our region’s businesses continue to find new ways of succeeding and contributing to the communities in which they are based.
“It’s always important to celebrate these achievements and shout about the great things happening right here in Leicestershire. We know it’s a fantastic place to do business and these organisations are shining examples.”
