Minivator Wins Gold Award For Innovation
Minivator is delighted to announce it has scooped the gold award for Innovation in the highly competitive Medilink West Midlands Medical Technology Awards.
The world’s second largest manufacturer of stairlifts, Minivator, fought off strong competition from four short listed companies to win the top prize, as judges praised the company for its investment in innovation as well as its clear strategy to develop unique, market-leading technologies and designs. Minivator was also short listed in the category for Export.
Satirical comedian and GP Dr Phil Hammond presented Managing Director Mike Lord with the prestigious award, which was created to recognise the most outstanding business accomplishments of medical companies across the West Midlands. There are more than 1300 medical manufacturers in the region. Minivator will now go forward to the national Medical Technology Awards.
Mike commented: “This is a wonderful recognition of our team’s hard work, vision and dedication. We’re all delighted to go forward to the national awards and hopefully prove that the best inventions originate in the West Midlands. Being part of the region’s strong medical cluster offers us all a tremendous support network of ideas, technologies and potential partnership opportunities, which I know has played a big part in our success so far.”
MedilinkWM’s Communications Director, Michelle Dalton, said: “Minivator has put innovation at the heart of its business, which is why it has won this highly competitive category. These awards are an excellent chance to celebrate the huge variety of skills, expertise and experience in this sector and recognise the huge impact the medical manufacturers in the West Midlands are having on national healthcare services, as well as contributing to the regeneration of the region’s traditional industries.
Whilst the award recognises the company wide drive to innovate the recently launch Minivator’s eSurvey system was a major contributor to this success.
