Showered with accolades

Manufacturer of industrial emergency safety showers and eyebaths, Hughes Safety Showers has been awarded a Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2012 - Continuous Achievement. It specifically recognises continuous achievement over six years from 2005 to 2010. During this period, the Company's overseas sales grew by more than 200%.

The announcement is traditionally made on the Queen's birthday, 21st April, and only a handful of companies are honoured in this way each year. Later in the year the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester will visit the company's Stockport manufacturing headquarters and formally confer the award with a Grant of Appointment.
