The Judges selected Le Mark for the new ‘Ingenuity’ award following close scrutiny. The company had proven that following the commercial slow-down which had affected many businesses, Le Mark had "self-invested, innovated and diversified into new business sectors," showing a new level of performance and growth.
Le Mark’s core business is still very much the development of ‘self-adhesive solutions’ - skills which were applied to the development of new products, including the double PLASA award-winning ‘Gel-Tak Filter Fix’. In receiving the award, Le Mark’s directors paid tribute to the high calibre of staff that had worked so hard to increase sales, service and productivity.
Stuart Gibbons, managing director, told us: "The company has expanded through both strategic alliances with overseas partners and investment in a high quality screen printing operation. Le Mark is a true innovator and I am extremely proud of the entire team."
