At last week’s prestigious business awards organized by the UK’s Halton Chambers of Commerce, Sandon Global achieved two business awards. ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ was awarded for demonstrating how their continuous improvement programme has directly benefited their customers, and how their approach to new product development and innovation, allows them to diversify into new markets.
Secondly the ‘Business of the Year’ award which was judged to be the overall winner across all 15 award categories. Halton Chamber, CEO Rachel Owen, said, “Sandon Global is a shining example of the strength and depth of technical skills and talent within Halton Borough. I understand that Sandon’s new bespoke facility is expected to create up to 10 apprenticeships each year plus 30 skilled jobs over the next five years. Reinforcing the decision made by our panel of judges to select Sandon Global for the ‘Business of the Year’ title this year.”
Sandon Global CEO John Millington added “I am extremely proud to have received both the awards which are testament to our dedicated, loyal and highly skilled team; working alongside our international network of specialist agents. We are currently preparing for a significant step change in our business. Regardless of the political landscape and uncertainty we have spent time researching and challenging our strategies to the point where we have the conviction and skills to build on our ongoing success. Being recognized by Halton Chamber is very humbling but also reassuring that we are on the right path. The next chapter in the history of our business is one that excites, motivates and drives our business and its people.

Commenting on this new enterprise, Millington said, “Sandon Global Engineering Limited provides total quality assurance to our customers and strategic partners; ultimately delivering a complete Anilox solution. In short, our sleeves and rolls are manufactured from start to finish to our stringent quality standards.
