Guardtech brings home a double

The Guardtech Group won its second award in the space of two weeks after capturing the Business & Product Innovation accolade at the East of England Federation of Small Businesses Awards.

Directors Ray and Mark Wheeler collected the award at a showcase at Newmarket Racecourse, just a fortnight after scooping the Business Innovation Award at the SME Cambridgeshire Awards at IWM Duxford.

The father and son duo will now take their Guardtech Group team, and double award-winning CleanCube Mobile Cleanrooms solution, to national awards in Glasgow (FSB, 19 May) and Wembley (SME, 2 December) in the hope of claiming yet more glory.

Guardtech Group director Ray Wheeler said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have won our second award in quick succession.

“Everyone at Guardtech strongly believes in CleanCube, as a great idea that has become a great product but receiving an independent award from such an esteemed body as the Federation of Small Businesses is a real wow moment for us.

“I’m so happy for the whole team – from the guys who designed these mobile labs to the teams who built them, we’re a dedicated, talented and diligent family business and the quality continues to shine through in the products and services we provide.”
