Rochdale, UK-based design and
manufacturing company Slingco has
beaten off competition to win the
International Company of the Year
Award (up to £10m turnover) at the 2015
Insider North West International Trade
Awards.
With offices in Atlanta serving North and
South America, and a manufacturing base
established in Bangalore, India, Slingco
supplies cable installation and support
products on a global scale.
Impressive development of staff and
engagement in an international culture
particularly impressed the judging panel
at the black tie award ceremony, held in
Manchester, UK. The judges also praised
the leadership of Nick Dykins and the
well-focused management team.
Since its foundation in 1980, Slingco has
designed, produced and supplied cable
installation and support products, wire
rope assemblies and more, to industries
as varied as oil and gas, marine and
offshore, public utilities, civil engineering,
aerospace, transport, the military,
performing arts, vehicle building and
construction.
Nick Dykins, managing director, said:
“This month caps off what has been
another remarkable year for Slingco.
We have gone from strength to
strength and the Insider Media Award
win is testament to the hard work,
commitment, and of course talent
shown by each and every single member
of the Slingco family.”
