Having reported that we had been SHORTLISTED for the INNOVATION category of the King’s Award for Enterprise – the UK’s most prestigious business awards, all thanks to our incredible Polar Blood bag.
We have now taken home the sustainable packaging award with “Made in Britain” for our outstanding Polar DotBox.
Our Polar DotBox was evaluated by the esteemed Jon Moss, Customer Engagement Director at Fortnum & Mason, who had this to say: “Polar Thermal’s Polar DotBox is a versatile solution that can be applied in various environments, from fresh and chilled food to frozen food and pharmaceuticals. It’s compatible with existing equipment, forward-thinking in terms of electric vehicles, and offers recyclable and reusable qualities.”
Our Kings award for enterprise nomination comes in recognition of our ground breaking BLOOD TRANSPORT SYSTEM developed for NHS Blood & Transport. These portable systems play a vital role in safely transporting whole blood, plasma, and platelets for the NHS. In rigorous testing, we scored a perfect 100/100, a remarkable 36 points ahead of the closest challenger.
These specially designed bags meet the stringent NHS requirements and are proudly manufactured at our Warminster factory.
Mr. Harrison, our leader, aptly summed up the feelings, saying, “I am delighted for the company, especially the staff who work so hard, often in a vacuum. When you receive these accolades, it reflects really well on their hard work, loyalty, and professionalism. We know that we are up there with the best, but we also recognize the challenges we face. These awards represent the pinnacle for UK manufacturing, and we are honoured.”
Thank you to our incredible team and partners for making this possible. We’re dedicated to continued innovation and sustainability, and these awards fuel our passion even more.
