Oxford Products has won two business accolades and, as previously reported, is celebrating its MD’s 25 years with the company.
First, the Witney-based distributor was acclaimed as Fastest Growing Family Business in 2016 by the regional business and professional magazine Cotswolds Life. Then it was announced it had been included in the top 10 UK medium-size firms, and 44th company overall, in Best of British awards run by The Sun newspaper.
Oxford Products, which was founded by company chairman Alec Hammond in 1973, is now run by son Andrew (44), who celebrated 25 years of service last month, making him the longest serving employee in the company’s history.
Hammond was delighted that the company had twice been recognised in business awards. He accepted the Cotswolds Life plaque at a recent lunch reception.
In winning the accolade from The Sun, Oxford beat hundreds of companies including Tesco, Premier Inn and GlaxoSmithKline and came tenth out of all medium-sized businesses in the UK.
“The award recognises Oxford’s amazing achievements. The company is rapidly expanding but is still a family business at heart and has retained all the qualities that make it such a great place to work,” said Hammond.
