We’re thrilled to announce that we were double winners at the Made in Central & East England (MiCE) Awards 2019! APRIL Eye took home the Digital Engineering/Technology Award and Kyle Constable, technical sales lead for Steam Infusion was recognised as the Apprentice of the Year. Following on from our regional win, we’ve now been entered into the national awards - keep your fingers crossed for us in June!

We can announce that we have been approved as a SafeContractor for the fourth year in a row. Receiving the SafeContractor accreditation recognises our excellence in health and safety, both in terms of our workforce and our ways of working so you can be sure that you’re working with a responsible company.

Harry Norman, our founder, has his finger on the pulse. Constantly in contact with industry experts and customers, he makes it his job to find out what’s likely to affect our industry, and how we can help food manufacturers stay ahead of the curve. As the end of the year approaches, we spoke to Harry and asked him to share with us his take on the key trends to watch out for in 2019.

We’re delighted to reveal that our APRIL Eye innovation has received yet more industry recognition in the form of the award for Robotics & Automation at the 2018 Food Processing awards. APRIL Eye is the world’s first artificial intelligence vision solution, which fully automates the date code verification process to eliminate the risk of product recalls and withdrawals caused by human error on packaging lines.
