Red Rhino Newsletter ExtractMargaret Hodge said, "Manufacturing continues to play a vital role in the UK economy and the Government is determined to ensure that it stays that way. These awards are proof that success comes from constantly improving, innovating and investing - in new ideas, new production techniques and new products. The shortlist for MX2007 puts the spotlight on the very best of these companies and their success means success for us all: success for employees, success for consumers and success for Britain!”
Whilst Red Rhino did not win any of the 2 categories for which they were short listed, Tim Mitchell, managing director, said “I am over the moon that Red Rhino managed to be shortlisted amongst 22 other prestigious and established companies. To get this recognition is an achievement itself!”
Red Rhino will be applying for awards again next year so watch this space!
