Oceanair wins 2nd Queen's Award for Enterprise
01 Aug 2005
The Queen's Award for Enterprise differs from personal honours because it recognises the achievement of the successful business unit as a whole - management and employees working as a team.
Oceanair employs 88 people, is a world leader in blind, screen and shade systems with an annual turnover of £4m.
Overseas sales increased by 75% over the past three years and 80% of its boat blinds and screens are now exported.
"I am very proud that Oceanair has won this award especially for the second time in only four years, " said managing director Andy FitzGerald. "When I started the business 15 years ago I was considered mad, but now with my strong team Oceanair products are standard fit for fine boats and superyachts."
