Awards triumph for Little Book producer
AJS Labels - an award-winning business
AJS Labels, the Sussex-based award-winning manufacturer of self-adhesive labels and the exclusive manufacturer of Little Book, has continued its winning streak with the addition of five more commendations and awards to its trophy collection lately.
The company scooped three awards at a ceremony to celebrate business excellence in West Sussex, including the top two, highly-prized trophies for Business Person of the Year and Overall Business of the Year.
Husband and wife co-directors, Andrew and Jayne Scrimgeour, were jointly named Business Persons of the Year and the company also triumphed in the Training and Development category. These three latest awards join the four others already won in 2010, the most recent being the PrintWeek Customer Service Team of the Year Award 2010.
“We are very proud to have won these awards and join our local business community in celebrating the pocket of business excellence that exists down here on the Sussex coast,” said Andrew Scrimgeour. “We are delighted, once again, to have all the hard work and dedication of everyone at the company acknowledged.”
Congratulating AJS on its winning streak, organiser Miriam Nichols said: “The 13th year of the Arun Business Partnership, Business of the Year Awards certainly didn’t prove unlucky for Littlehampton-based AJS Labels. Theirs is a true success story, having been formed 18 months ago as a result of a Management Buy Out and in that time turning a substantial loss into a healthy profit whilst retaining all its 50 staff and recruiting 10 more.”
Earlier in the same month, the company was runner-up in the Packaging News UK Packaging Award for SME of the Year 2010, a brand new award for 2010. Highly commended by the judges for turning a loss into a profit, AJS’ owners, Andrew and Jayne Scrimgeour, were congratulated ‘for the way the firm has sought to reconnect with customers and engage staff through one-on-one consultations to make them feel they have a stake in the business.’
In the same awards, AJS Labels was a finalist in the prestigious Label of the Year category.
