Business of the Year (turnover btw 1m-5m) - Suprafilt
Rochdale Business Awards 2012

Local company Suprafilt scooped the Business of the Year Award in the £1 - £5 million turnover category.

Graeme Fielden, the company’s Sales Director, who has been with the company since it was founded, told Rochdale Online: “We are really delighted with the award. Over the past two years we have increased our turnover from £900K to £2.5 million and plan to increase this to £5 million in the next couple of years.”

We asked Graeme how the company was able to increase its success in tough economic times. He said: “We have won some big contracts in the last 12-18 months. In a recession, it’s no good just sitting there waiting for the government to turn things round. You need to get up and make things happen.”

Suprafilt Fabrications is based in a modern factory premises, equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and staffed by skilled craftsmen, many of whom have worked in the industry for all of their working lives.

Their clients are some of the UK’s major water companies and leading industrial organisations. They have been involved in major aeration projects with Anglian, Yorkshire and Thames water Authorities among many other customers who demand the very highest standards from their suppliers.

It also exports its systems to South America, North Africa and the Middle East.
