No blues sung at subcontract machinists'
Such has been the upsurge in the fortunes of Unicut Precision that July and August have set record sales and profit levels for its precision sub-con tract machining business.
Said Jason Nicholson, co-director: "We are honoured to accept the award which will be hung proudly in our reception.
For a small company such as ours with only 15 employees and competing against multi-million pound turnover international names, the task was certainly daunting.
We are so delighted that the team efforts from our workforce have been recognised." In order to get through to the final, Unicut initially had to present a profile of the business to the Institution.
From the profile, over 300 UK companies were then asked to complete a 30 page in-depth questionnaire on their business.
The questionnaire was then used to determine the surviving contestants for a team of consultants to spend a day at Unicut's Welwyn Garden City works to assess the company's ability.
In the final phase, joint managing directors Jason Nicholson and Charles Kenny were then invited to make a half hour presentation at the I Mech E's London headquarters to a top industrial panel who then selected the four finalists and ultimate category winner.
Unicut was set up in 1992 by its co-directors and has grown progressively to a current turnover of some ?1.3 million supplying precision turned parts to the aerospace, automotive, brewing, medical, electronic and telecomms sectors.
Last year it won the Best Subcontractor Award at the International Subcontrating Industry Awards ceremony in Birmingham.
