Judges’ Comments:
Magsons Hardware is a very successful business with a strong focus on quality and innovation. Managing Director Vinod Kumar and Magsons believe in their staff and their commitment. They promote from within and have a staff “apprentice” programme, with training to national standards of excellence.
This is an example of a well-run profitable business with a focus on the local community. Good strategies were put in place to survive the recession, including a store to offload slow moving stock lines and free up cash. Even in a depressed market, the profitable sales have increased.
