Environmental Street Furniture (ESF) in Newtownabbey has scooped the 'International Award' at the UTV Business Eye Awards.
The award ceremony took place at Belfast's Waterfront Hall on Thursday, 07 December.
The company designs and supplies a range of street furniture and site furnishing products.
Since establishing in 2012, ESF has sought to establish a truly global supply chain both selling and sourcing throughout the world, forging and developing partnerships and relationships, as well as undertaking work in the ever-expanding solar and theme park markets. The company knew however, that they had to distance themselves from the competition and therefore embarked on an aggressive export campaign harnessing innovation and new technologies.
Their enthusiasm paid off and success beckoned with ESF now counting some of the world's most popular theme parks as customers. One of their most impressive contracts was supplying over 150 themed custom benches and 450 themed litter bins to the world's largest indoor theme park, IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai prior to its opening in 2016.
Alan Lowry, Managing Director of ESF, said: "We are delighted to have won the International Award at the highly respected UTV Business Eye Awards. We were up against some very tough competition from some of the most esteemed companies in Northern Ireland, all of whom deserved the award.
"We have however invested a lot of time and effort into establishing ourselves globally so it's incredible to be recognised for our hard work over the last five years. The International Award follows our newly released Stellar Bench being awarded 'Product of the Show' at the Innovate UK exhibition in Birmingham last month. Winning these awards is exceptional for ESF and is testament to the fact that we are doing something right."
