Business awards include automotive pioneers in shortlist
A number of automotive-related companies have been recognised as young but promising high-quality independent businesses.
Independent leasing and fleet management firm Zenith and EV charging station providers Ecotricity are two of the shortlisted candidates representing the automotive industry at The Growing Business Awards 2011.
Making the category shortlists is a massive achievement in itself with this year’s event attracting a record number of entrants.
Tim Buchan, CEO of Zenith which is up for the Company of the Year prize, comments: “We are delighted that our success is being recognised by these prestigious awards.
“Our ongoing growth is down to our continuous innovation, our drive to lead the market and our ability to deliver high quality, cost effective vehicle solutions.
“The loyal and dedicated team at Zenith has worked very hard to build a company that we can all be proud of.”
Ecotricity is also in contention for the same award, after installing EV recharging points powered by green or wind-powered energy. Previous winners of this particular accolade include Betfair, LOVEFiLM and lastminute.com.
Finally, Climatecars – an eco-friendly London taxi firm that operates solely on Toyota Prius hybrid models – has been nominated for Young Company of the Year. Devised by Nicko Williamson, the idea has snowballed to a fleet of 70 cabs and turned over £2.2 last year.
The winners will be announced during Global Entrepreneurship Week on Monday 14 November at the London Marriott Hotel.
