The Le Mark team (L-R), Jackie Burton (financial accounts manager), Linda Gibbons (sales director), Rebecca Lace (sales office manager) and Stuart Gibbons (managing director).
No sooner had we got the news online that Le Mark had been nominated for the Huntingdonshire Business Spirit of Ingenuity Award than we got a message to say that the company had actually won it. Ruth Bagnal, from The East of England Development Agency, presented the award to the company on Friday 1 November in front of 200 top business people at the Marriott Hotel in Huntingdon.

The Judges selected Le Mark for the new ‘Ingenuity’ award following close scrutiny. The company had proven that following the commercial slow-down which had affected many businesses, Le Mark had "self-invested, innovated and diversified into new business sectors," showing a new level of performance and growth.

Le Mark’s core business is still very much the development of ‘self-adhesive solutions’ - skills which were applied to the development of new products, including the double PLASA award-winning ‘Gel-Tak Filter Fix’. In receiving the award, Le Mark’s directors paid tribute to the high calibre of staff that had worked so hard to increase sales, service and productivity.

Stuart Gibbons, managing director, told us: "The company has expanded through both strategic alliances with overseas partners and investment in a high quality screen printing operation. Le Mark is a true innovator and I am extremely proud of the entire team."
