We attended the Coventry and Warwickshire Business and Community Awards as a proud category sponsor of ‘The Global Player – Export Business of the Year’.
This category aims to highlight a deserving business which has made relevant ventures into the international trade, which this year was Millboard! Congratulations!
We judged all entries across five different categories: export growth, economic impact, innovation in export strategy, market expansion, and sustainability and compliance. Millboard performed highly across all categories, having increased export sales by approximately 35% across new and established international markets, and we were pleased to be able to present them with the award to recognise their hard work.
As a company, we presented the award alongside Ajay Desai from the Department for Business and Trade.
Lawton Tubes said:
“We have exported £200m worth of copper pipe and fittings to over 42 countries over the two decades from heart of Coventry; and received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade in 2019, and the King’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade in 2024.
“At Lawton Tubes, we feel proud that our success in the international market is being highlighted through our sponsorship of the award. It’s a brilliant local networking event as well as celebrating the great international presence Coventry and Warwickshire has.”
The CW Awards are an important event for any local business and influential individuals. Providing a platform to recognise success, boost local businesses’ reputations, and encourage innovation that will support the local economy, they are a major calendar event, and one we will be glad to attend next year!
