The British Chamber Business Awards, now in its 18th year, is a prestigious event in the calendar of businesses and organisations nationwide. The awards highlight the exceptional growth and advancement of UK businesses through a series of regional and national heats.
A new category for 2022, the Rapid Riser Award, credits the achievements of an outstanding ‘Scale up Business of the Year’ that has demonstrated exceptional levels of growth with a strong plan for sustainable financial performance.
Castle Water impressed the judges, having launched as a start-up in 2014 and evolving to a 400 employee, £360M (2020/21) turn-over business in just 8 years, with 5 industry-shaping acquisitions along the way. The water retailer will now proceed to the National finals in the Chamber Business Awards.
Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce nominated Castle Water for the Rapid Riser Award at this year’s Chamber Business Awards.
Commenting on Castle Water’s win, Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce said, “We are absolutely delighted that Castle Water have been successful in becoming ‘Rapid Riser’ Regional Winners for the British Chamber of Commerce Awards 2022. To have recognition at a national level for the brilliant work carried out in this category we, at Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce, are thrilled for everyone connected. We wish them every success for the next stage of the awards.”
Castle Water CEO, John Reynolds, OBE, said, “Everyone at Castle is over the moon at this recognition of our continuing growth. Our membership of the Chamber has been a big part of our development, and we look forward to working with the Chamber as we continue to build the market leading business water retailer.”
All Chamber Business Award nominations will be assessed by an independent panel, with national winners to be announced mid-October. The overall ‘Winner of Winners’ will be revealed at the closing of the London Stock Exchange on Thursday 1 December, 2022.
