Innovative snowsports company Briton Engineering Developments is celebrating two more awards since winning the distinguished NatWest International Business of the Year award in November last year.

At Yorkshire Forward’s prestigious “Innovator 08” awards held at Leeds City Hall on 5 March 2008, the company scooped the top award of “Global Innovator" which recognises technical and commercial excellence on the worldwide stage.

Jim Farmery, Head of Innovation at Yorkshire Forward explains; “The winners of the Innovators/08 are those people and companies who have taken a different approach to business and incorporated new ideas and new ways of working…….and demonstrate their commitment to being a leader in their field”.

Snow sport experts Briton Engineering based in Holmfirth won the award for Global Innovation, supported by UK Trade and Industry, for re-engineering their snow sports surfacing product specifically for international roll-out, taking into account changing international weather, and making it scaleable to suit local markets.

Brian Thomas, Managing Director said; “We are delighted to win this award in recognition of our achievements, but we are on the first step of a journey we still have a long way to go. From our experience, success is all about looking at new markets; otherwise you won’t do very well"

Yorkshire Company succeeds on the world stage


 

Briton Engineering Developments is celebrating its success in winning the much sought after "NatWest Bank International Business of the Year" award.

Key to Briton’s success has been the company’s expansion into European and US markets and the generation of major enquiries in regions that traditionally do not have a snowsports market. 

Having recently supplied its award winning Snowflex® system to Olympic training facilities in Park City, Utah and Lake Placid, New York, Briton have gone on to design and refurbish the prestigious Loisinord Stadt de Glise in Nœux Les Mines, France and are currently constructing a new Snowflex® Urban Snowsports Centre in Valladolid, Spain. Other major international projects that Briton is involved in include the prestigious Bearfire Resort in Dallas, Texas and Liberty University in Virginia.

Terry Di Stasi, Briton’s Director of Business Development, attended the ceremony, held at the Galpharm Stadium in Huddersfield and collected the award on behalf of the company. Presented in front of 350 local business and community leaders, the title is yet another tribute for Briton, who is regularly lauded in the UK snowsports and national press for their market leading surface system.  

Di Stasi added: “I’m surprised at receiving this award in the face of stiff competition from some excellent companies, but I’m also very, very proud. We have moved on a long way since we started making portable ski lifts for artificial slopes in 1979 and now we have work all over the world. I can’t begin to describe how it feels to know that our efforts have been rewarded". 

Briton currently has serious enquiries at various stages of development from the USA, Republic of South Africa, Georgia, Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, Spain and New Zealand.
