We are thrilled to announce that Polyseam Ltd has been named Regional Winner in the Global Britain Business of the Year category at the British Chambers of Commerce Chamber Business Awards 2025. This recognition is a testament to the strength of our global presence, the dedication of our teams, and our commitment to growth — all built on a foundation in Huddersfield.
What The Award Means
The Global Britain award, supported by UK Export Finance, celebrates businesses that demonstrate significant and sustained international growth and a deep understanding of overseas markets. For us, it acknowledges that borders are not barriers — our products and expertise travel far, powered by a team working together to push standards, innovation, and reliability.
This regional win underscores that our export-driven ambitions are grounded in robust operations, local strength, and a global mindset.
How the Entire Business Contributed
1. R&D, Innovation & Quality
From concept to testing, our R&D teams, chemists, and technical experts develop solutions that meet global performance standards. Their work ensures we deliver credible, durable products that earn trust on every continent.
2. Manufacturing & Operations
With decades of experience, our manufacturing facility in Huddersfield is equipped to scale, adapt, and respond to customer needs with precision. Lean processes, quality control, and rigorous standards feed into consistent output — day in, day out.
3. Sustainability & Responsibility
Winning this award while continuing to reduce environmental impact shows that growth and responsibility can go hand in hand. From renewable energy use to eco-conscious packaging and waste reduction, sustainability is part of our operational backbone.
4. Staff & Culture
No award is possible without our people. Every department, production, sales, logistics, customer service, marketing, HR — plays a role. Their daily commitment shapes our reputation, and this award belongs to everyone in every department, as much as it does to the company.
5. Community, Partners & Customers
We’ve never viewed success as internal. We collaborate with our supply chain, engage with the Huddersfield community, and most importantly, serve our customers. Their feedback, trust, and partnership have been essential in helping us reach new markets and growth.
