Last year, we won Start-up Business of the Year at the Bristol Post 2015 Business Awards and ended the summer with Managing Director, Paul Mullen, receiving Highly Commended in the Small Company Director Category at the Institute of Directors South West Region Director of the Year Awards. Not a bad year for our exciting young team.

Following on from our success, Cubik Innovation was recently shortlisted for the SME Manufacturing Company of the Year (Turnover below £25m) Award at the Insider Media Ltd Made in the South West Awards.

The award is for a manufacturing company based in the South West, with a turnover of less than £25m, that has demonstrated excellence and made an outstanding contribution to the manufacturing sector in the region between the period 1 July 2015 to 20 June 2016.

On Wednesday 2 November, Paul Mullen (Managing Director) and Luke Davies (Technical Project Manager), represented Cubik Innovation at this year’s ceremony held at Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel. The event showcases manufacturing from across the South West and offers local companies the opportunity to celebrate their ongoing commitment to world-class quality and excellence.

The evening was full of splendour and ceremony, with the duo dressed in penguin suits and Paul’s signature waist coat. The evening was hosted by acclaimed Comedian, Jimmy McGhie, with a very entertaining comedic interlude following the night’s guest speaker Don Cameron of Cameron Balloons. Don gave a brilliant insight into the world of ballooning and how a conversation in his local gliding club bar turned into the Bristol institution known as Cameron Balloons.

The highlight of the event was the awards ceremony itself. We were amongst good company having been shortlisted alongside Future Advanced Manufacture, Blue Badge Company, Woodwarm Stoves and Gripsure UK. But it was Marshfield Bakery who were crowned SME Manufacturing Company of the Year (Turnover below £25m).

We would like to congratulate Marshfield Bakery on their win, a well-deserved award for a fantastic company.  If you guys’ fancy sending over any of your celebration cakes that would be great.
