Harvard Engineering, world leader in the design, development and manufacture of LED drivers, electronic HID ballasts and control products - including LeafNut the revolutionary wireless remote street lighting system - is celebrating another successful year after increasing turnover by 50%, winning two prestigious innovation awards and expanding into a new purpose built manufacturing facility.
In April Harvard won a Queen's Award for Enterprise, within the Innovation category. The award, which was presented by His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, was in recognition of the success the company is experiencing with the revolutionary wireless remote monitoring and control street lighting system, LeafNut.
LeafNut was also the reason behind Harvard winning the Orange Innovation Award, at the Orange National Business Awards in November. Sherry Coutu, Investment Committee, NESTA, who sat on this year's National Business Awards shortlisting panel, commented: "Harvard Engineering scored highly for its innovative wireless street-lighting system." And declared LeafNut as "A triumph of customer led entrepreneurship".
The company's new premises in Normanton, Wakefield, includes a world leading research and development centre, a manufacturing facility - with some of the most advanced automated assembly equipment in the industry - a showroom and a large open-plan office space. The larger premises are ideally suited to accommodate Harvard's ambitious and ongoing growth plans.
Michael McDonnell, sales and marketing director at Harvard commented, "We have had another extremely exciting and successful year and we would like to thank the whole team for all their efforts. We are now looking forward to the next 12 months as we continue to implement ambitious growth plans both in the UK and internationally, whilst continuing to develop new innovative products."
To meet the growing demand for its products Harvard has also recently established new offices and relationships in Spain, Italy and Australia, following on from the success of the French office which opened in 2010.
All Harvard's products and solutions are fully researched, developed and manufactured in their facility in the UK.
