The staff of Yelo are celebrating after the company won a top award last night (Thursday 31st May).
Northern Ireland's local businesses headed to the glittering BusinessEye First Trust Bank Small Business Awards in Belfast on Thursday night and the testing equipment company scooped the award for export.
Yelo has been a runaway success since it was bought back in 2009/10 in a management buyout and hasn’t looked back since. Over 80% of Yelo’s revenue comes from export markets and this has enabled both a rapid and sustained growth over the last 8 years.
Speaking at the ceremony last night, Yelo’s Marketing Executive said “Exports are critical to economic success in Northern Ireland. This award isn’t dedicated to one specific person in Yelo, it’s very much a team effort and every single person in the company plays a key role in making us a successful company”.
Yelo would like to thank BusinessEye, First Trust Bank and all the sponsors for putting on a wonderful event last night and wish many congratulations to all other winners and nominated companies last night.
