At a recent awards ceremony held at King’s Hall in Stoke, battery manufacturer, Accutronics, scooped the Small Business of the Year award.

This award recognises areas such as product innovation, new market development, strategy and management, and the award is an acknowledgement of the company’s success over the last two years.

The company designs, develops and manufactures rechargeable batteries for high performance electronic devices, and its smart batteries offer advanced functionality and features such as charge control, fuel gauging and device communication.

“Winning such a prestigious business award is a vote of confidence for any British manufacturer, particularly a young business such as Accutronics”, enthused Rob Phillips, managing director at Accutronics. “The selection process was very thorough and the questions we had to answer touched on every aspect of the business.

“This is a great achievement for Accutronics, especially as it’s the first time we’ve put ourselves forward for an award. We are all delighted and I am personally grateful to the dedicated and experienced individuals I work with every day.”
