Forge Europa, an electronics company from Ulverston specialising in the design, manufacture and supply of LED lamps, displays and lighting, was particularly pleased to receive the award as it acknowledged its community work, charitable activities, positive attitude towards the environment and commitment to social responsibility.
"The Social Responsibility Award reflects the importance Forge Europa places on putting something back into the community and it challenges the often portrayed image of business being uncaring and purely finance driven," says Peter Barton. "Forge Europa has been actively committed to supporting its local community through providing electronic workshops in local Primary Schools and supporting many schools' Physics departments."
