Following our success at the IoD Director of the Year Awards, we continued our winning streak, at the Bristol Post Awards where we were awarded ‘Start-Up Business of the Year’. The team’s spirits were high after just being shortlisted, so to win is beyond expectation and entirely humbling.

The award ceremony was hosted at Brunel’s Passenger Shed where delegates heard from a range of inspirational speakers including Andy Green of Bloodhound, who gave attendees a high speed glimpse into the world of land speed records and flying Tornado F3s.

The team at Aardman Animations took centre stage receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award for a company so synonymous with the huge success the city has enjoyed in the creative industries.

After just two awards it was our category, and we were delighted to hear Cubik Innovation called out as Bristol Post’s Start Up Business of the Year 2015. At this point, our Science Park colleagues, ‘The Noise App’, which enables the public to report noise complaints to their local authorities quicker and easier, would have found its purpose. Cheering, clapping, and photo snapping ensued from the Cubik table for a quite a while following the announcement.

On receiving the award, Cubik’s Managing Director, Paul Mullen, commented:

“It feels amazing to have won. It is great to have this kind of recognition for a start-up. To get on the shortlist was an amazing feeling and I didn’t expect to win it this evening. Bristol is a fantastic place to be based in. There are a lot of inventors here, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else.”

This award is a testament to the hard work of our young and talented team of engineers and creative brains, but also a huge nod to our customers: the inventors, entrepreneurs, SMEs, and corporations who come to Cubik armed with stunning design concepts, products, and ideas. Without these customers, an award like this would have been impossible.

We would like to thank the award’s organisers and judges for a fantastic evening. Everyone who attended was delighted and left the event with a sense of pride for our city, which is so obviously alive with great ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit. A special thanks goes to Dom from Mobile Menswear for hooking us up with spangly waistcoats and perfect bow ties.
