Derby-based IT solutions company PXtech has been named the Midlands Exporter of the Year in the 2010 Midlands Business of the Year Awards.
The firm, based at Pride Park, took the award at a gala ceremony in Birmingham. MD Richard Dorf received the accolade from John Cave, MD of sponsor Westhaven Worldwide Logistics. It was also shortlisted in the Midlands Innovation of the Year category.
PXtech (http://www.pxtech.net/) supplies IT support, development and training particularly for the education and retail sectors and it beat off four other finalists to scoop the prestigious prize. It counts the fast-growing Subway chain of shops among its client base.
This was the fourth year of the awards and more than 300 people attended the ceremony at the NEC Hilton Metropole Hotel. The guest of honour was Jerry Blackett, chief executive of Birmingham and Solihull Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Mr Dorf said: “We are delighted to have received official recognition for the efforts of the whole team in winning this award. Business is challenging but with the right products, determination and teamwork, success is possible.”
Harj Sandher, MD of organisers UK Special Events, the company behind the event, said: “We had some excellent entries and are delighted that the event is growing in popularity and quality. The range of talent in the Midlands is huge and the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and kicking.”
