Ferrymasters is the only true road haulage company to be included with an award for export achievement. Managing director Jim Brooke says: "To have our achievements recognised by this award is just reward to all our hard working personnel for their continued endeavours.
Other winners of awards for export achievement this year are Coventry-based transmission-specialist Self Changing Gears, Worthing-based design engineer IAD, oil company Comoco, and parts manufacturer Vapormatic (Exeter).
In the awards for technological achievement, the road transport industry fares less well, with only two companies receiving awards. These are AB Automotive Products for its microprocessor switching system and the Landis Lund Division of Litton UK for its computer-controlled grinding of camshafts.
