The Inktech management team is celebrating after a landmark evening at the British Coatings Federation (BCF) Annual Awards, held at Carden Park Hotel on Wednesday, 12th November. In a resounding endorsement of the company’s efforts and values, Inktech was honoured with two prestigious awards: winning the Marketing Award for SME’s and receiving a Highly Commended accolade in the Race to Net Zero category.
The atmosphere was terrific as the Inktech team, who attended the ceremony together, took to the stage to collect the SME Marketing Award. This coveted award recognises businesses that have demonstrated a clear and effective marketing strategy, resulting in real tangible success.
The judges awarded Inktech for its meticulously planned and executed marketing campaign, which not only successfully raised the company’s profile but also delivered enhanced brand awareness and sales results. The award underscores the power of a focused and cost-effective marketing plan in driving business growth and raising the profile of Inktech.
“This award is a testament to the hard work, creativity, and strategic focus of our entire team,” said Bryan Crennell, Managing Director for Inktech. “From concept to execution, every step was designed to communicate our value and connect with our customers. To see that effort recognised by the BCF, and to have the commercial results to back it up, is incredibly rewarding.”
A Highly Commended Nod for a Sustainable Future
The celebration didn’t stop there. Inktech was also honoured with a Highly Commended award in the fiercely competitive “Race to Net Zero” category. This recognition highlights the company’s profound and genuine commitment to environmental responsibility.
The judges were impressed by two key, large-scale sustainable initiatives:
- A Major Solar Energy Project: The implementation of a significant solar panel installation at Inktech’s facilities, drastically reducing reliance on grid energy and slashing the company’s carbon footprint.
- Packaging Transformation: A comprehensive switch to using 70% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) materials across a wide range of its packaging, championing a circular economy and reducing plastic waste.
These substantial investments demonstrate that for Inktech, sustainability is not just a talking point, but a core principle integrated into its operations.
A Clear Vote of Confidence for the Journey Ahead
Winning the BCF Marketing Award for SME and being Highly Commended for sustainability sends out a clear message. “This double recognition is a clear vote of confidence in Inktech, our management team, and the strategic direction we are taking,” Bryan Crennell – Managing Director continued. “It proves that commercial success and environmental stewardship can, and must, go hand-in-hand. We are moving a business forward that is not only sustainable and market-leading but also responsible and forward-thinking. This is just the beginning, and we are more motivated than ever for the years ahead.”
