Gloucestershire-based global engineering technologies company Renishaw has been shortlisted for ‘Company of the Year’ at the PLC Awards, 2017.

This marks the first time Renishaw has been shortlisted in the category, which is awarded to a company that has demonstrated long-term success.

Following nominations from a voting panel made up of representatives from London’s financial community, Renishaw was selected as one of six shortlisted companies for the prestigious award.

Says Renishaw’s head of communications Chris Pockett: “Renishaw has had an extremely strong year, growing in turnover, profits and people. Since 2009, the company has grown from 1,850 staff to 4,500 employees globally and, this year, we are taking on a record number of apprentices.

“Renishaw has experienced excellent international success, which is reflected in our growing network of subsidiaries,” continued Pockett. “2017 saw Renishaw establish a new Turkish subsidiary, relocate to offices triple the size in Spain and start work on a new building in Mexico. We also formally opened a new 133,000 square feet headquarters in the US.”

The ceremony will take place on 15 March at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
