Alan Lowry, ESF managing director said: “We are absolutely delighted that we have won the One to Watch Award at the Family Business Awards. We’ve had a very busy year in the company and although there is no let up in sight, this award goes some way to recognising the hard work and effort we as a team have put in to making us a winning and successful company based on real family values.
“It is great to be recognised in Northern Ireland for our commitment to sustainable business growth. This is our first business award in 2017, building on our success last year, receiving the Business Eye Small Business Award for Exporter of the Year and placing runner up in the 2016 Aer Lingus National Viscount Awards.”
Gavin Walker, Editor of Business First magazine said: “Congratulations to Environmental Street Furniture. The company has concentrated on expanding its product range and worked hard to achieve significant growth. This was a particularly difficult category to judge as there were some exceptional entrants, however, ESF was the stand out winner in our eyes and we are expecting even more from this business in years to come.
