Fabweld Steel Products Ltd receives the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise

His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire, Anna Turner last week visited Fabweld  Steel Products Ltd and was delighted to present them with their King’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development.

The Kings’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the coveted King’s Awards’ emblem for the next five years, they receive a crystal and scroll signed by Kind Charles 111.

Established in 1998, Fabweld Steel Products Ltd designs and manufactures standard and bespoke access covers (manhole covers) and other fabricated steel products for the construction, water, energy and security industries. Their mission is to deliver quality products and solutions with a rapid and exceptional customer service. It’s their vision to innovate, design and manufacture products that the customer requires with ultimate efficiency to maximise returns for all stakeholders.

In recent years, the company has focused primarily on reducing emissions through substantial investment in solar energy and the installation of equipment to generate nitrogen on site. As the majority of its carbon emissions arise from steel usage, the company has made strategic purchasing choices, selecting suppliers with credible plans to work towards net zero steel production.

Wayne Carter, managing director of Fabweld, said: “It is an absolute privilege to receive the highest honour that can be bestowed on a UK business, and a testament to everyone at Fabweld who has played a part in this success.

“We have made significant progress in reducing consumption through innovative product design, investment in staff training, with wider sustainability outcomes through community engagement and profit sharing within the business.

“Our actions and commitment demonstrate a genuine and focused approach to operating in a way that delivers measurable, positive outcomes for both the business and sustainability and we are incredibly proud that this has been recognised.”
