Overseas expansion wins award for Eurokey
June 29, 2011
Britain’s private companies with the fastest-growing international sales celebrated last night at the second annual Sunday Times Eurokey award winners at the HSBC International Track 100 awards dinner, held at The Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel, London.
The awards event recognises British private businesses that have rapidly expanded overseas. It brings together the founders and directors of companies featured on the Sunday Times International Track 100 league table, which ranks privately-owned British companies by growth in international sales over the last two years.
Guests were welcomed by James Farrar, head of marketing for commercial banking in the UK at HSBC, the title sponsor of the league table. He congratulated the assembled companies on their success overseas, but added that there were even greater opportunities ahead, with the global middle class expanding to unprecedented proportions.
The International Track 100 award for excellence in emerging markets, sponsored by HSBC Commercial, was presented by Surath Sengupta, head of international business for the commercial segment in the UK, to Joe Bisland, commercial director of Eurokey Recycling.
Eurokey exports recycled material to manufacturers in the Far East, and generates 95% of its sales overseas.
