Tracsis wins Company of the Year award
Tracsis is pleased to announce that it has won the Company of the Year in the Mid-Sized category at last night's Growing Business Awards.
Growing Business describes this award as recognising high-growth, high-quality, world-class independent UK companies.
The judges commented:
"We were delighted by the success of Tracsis, a one-time Leeds University spin-out, which has come to dominate its particular niche in the rail industry. It's been conservative in its finances but consistent in its commitment to R&D, and not afraid to make acquisitions. I would love to have shares in all of the companies in this fabulous category, but if I could only have shares in just one, then it would have to be Tracsis. It has got tremendous IP. And it has a remarkably strong position in its market. It's a model company that many other university spin-outs should admire and learn from."
John McArthur, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"I am very proud that Tracsis has achieved this accolade - it is a testament to the hard work that the team has put in, and how the business has developed since inception."
