VIP Bin Cleaning win
UKTI export award
The hard work and achievements of VIP Bin Cleaning have
been recognised through winning a Passport to Export (P2E) Award from UK
Trade & Investment (UKTI). They received the Best New Exporter award
for the East of England, from Lord Digby Jones, Minister for Trade and Investment
in a ceremony at Ickworth House.
VIP Bin Cleaning, a franchising company specialising in cleaning wheelie bins
in an environmentally friendly way, found the Overseas Market Introduction Service
(OMIS) of particular value especially when breaking into the USA market.
Speaking at the event, Lord Digby Jones, said: "I am greatly impressed by
the variety of companies being recognised for their efforts to compete in the
global marketplace. This diversity of businesses is good for the strength of
the region and for the UK. All have taken on the demands of exporting and all
have benefited from working with Passport to Export. I would strongly urge others
to take up the challenge."
Mark Harvey, Managing Director said: “Winning the UKTI award gives a clear
signal we are on course to succeed in our plans for International development.
This seal of approval will strengthen the reputation and brand that VIP Bin Cleaning
has already built in our market sector.”
