Second-generation family company, wins 4 business awards including 2 at the KEiBAs
The Kent Excellence in Business Awards (KEiBA) is an annual awards ceremony organised by Kent County Council and KM Media Group. Now in its 9th year, the awards were established to recognise and reward excellence and achievements by companies across Kent. Medical device manufacturer, Bedfont®, has been entering the KEiBA awards since 2011, having previously won the accolade for Science Business of the year and SME Business of the year categories as well as being a finalist in Technology Business of the year and Success in International Markets categories. Bedfont®, regarded as a pioneer in breath analysis, is pleased to announce a double win on Thursday 22nd June at the KEiBAs, collecting two awards for Exporter of the Year and Medium Business of the Year.
Additionally this year, Bedfont® won Exporter of the Year at the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce Awards and Small Business of the Year at the Maidstone Business Awards, bringing their total to 4 business awards in the first half of 2017.
Jason Smith, managing director, comments, “We are truly honoured to have won 4 business awards so far this year; they are great recognition for us and our customers. Despite being a small family company we export to over 76 countries worldwide, so to win 2 awards for Exporter of the Year is truly inspiring and it really resonates with our extended family, our distributors. Winning 2 KEiBAs in one night was really a remarkable experience and personally, Medium Business of the Year was a great achievement seeing Bedfont® take strides into the future as we continue to grow, innovate and improve health, worldwide.”
