Anaconda win top business accolade in Northern Ireland
The cream of Northern Ireland's business community gathered last week for the Belfast Telegraph 2013 Business Awards in association with British Airways.
At a ceremony in the Culloden Hotel, Anaconda Equipment, who design, manufacture and export a range of mobile screening and conveyor equipment for the materials processing industries, picked up the top business award.
The Belfast Telegraph Awards recognizes excellence in challenging times. The awards have been celebrating business innovation, staying power and determination for over a decade.
In making the award, the judges considered Anaconda’s growth, export achievements and design innovations, as key reasons for selecting Anaconda for the top business award, according to production director, Martin Quinn: ‘What keeps us top of our game is our unique selling points – nobody else in the world makes what we make in the way that we make it.
‘We design and build screening equipment which is fully containerized, we drive the machine into the container, send it across the world and someone else drives it out – and there’s no need for specialized assembly or specialized staff when it arrives. As a result we send our products all over the world, often to pretty inaccessible places. You will find our products in places like Papua New Guinea and Fiji.’
As well as the top business award, Anaconda also picked up Best Small/Medium Business Award. The awards are acknowledged to be a gold standard and are viewed as the most prestigious in Northern Ireland.
