The considerable investments in expanding the premises, a hand-picked workforce and constant product range development has contributed to the success needed to win this stamp of excellence. FAI’s international presence has significantly expanded by recruiting regional specialists, resulting in an export division now capable of delivering market leading service to over 60 countries worldwide. The results of this have shown significant year on year market share with positive growth already mapped out for the foreseeable future.

Sean Walker commented, “To win such a prestigious award has had a reverberating effect throughout the business and with it, the sound of a job well done, to all staff. I personally couldn’t be more pleased with the direction the company has taken and look forward to the next five years of business. Now we’ve got the award, we will be working hard showcasing why we deserve it and what we can offer our existing customers and prospective clients.”
