Harrogate-based ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent is celebrating winning two prestigious regional business awards: The Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business –and the Insider Media Made in Yorkshire awards.

For both awards, EnviroVent won the prestigious ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ category, demonstrating its commitment to excellence in design, innovation and manufacture.

Judges praised EnviroVent for the company’s dynamic approach to increasing manufacturing capacity, after the business recognised demand in the social housing and new build sector and moved to its own purpose-built expanded factory in Harrogate.  This enabled the company to ramp up production by 31% within six months and output continues to rise.

Judges also recognised EnviroVent’s commitment to innovation, which led to it extending its product range to meet market demand, expanding its staff numbers significantly and investing in employee multiskilling.

Andy Makin, Managing Director of EnviroVent, said: “We are delighted to have won two prestigious manufacturing awards!  We have made major investments in our manufacturing facility in the past two years and now with much more capacity, we are confident we can continue to meet future requirements in the new build and social housing sectors.  It’s all down to excellent teamwork and I cannot thank our employees enough – these awards are testament to their dedication and expertise.”

An important recent innovation from EnviroVent, recognised in these awards, is the new ATMOS Wall Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units for flats/apartments that have been designed to eradicate the problem of condensation and mould growth, improving indoor air quality in the home. It is a simple, yet effective system that works by drawing in fresh, filtered, clean air from outside and gently ventilating the home to dilute high humidity levels and indoor pollutants.

ATMOS Wall has the option of a very high-grade default filter, which stops smaller particles, substantially reducing allergens and spores. This filter is also offered with active carbon integrated which helps to prevent odours being bought in to the dwelling.

In addition to these award wins, EnviroVent is a Finalist in the ASCP Safety & Compliance Awards category: Best Supplier to the Social Housing Sector Award.  The company was also a finalist in two categories at the Stray Ferret Business Awards in Harrogate for Rising Star (Elise Stephens) and for the Business Growth award.  Finally, EnviroVent recently celebrated being shortlisted in the prestigious Building Communities Awards in the categories: Innovative Product of the Year (ATMOS wall) and Building Communities awards - for the Digital Transformation Award.

EnviroVent has a manufacturing plant for ventilation systems and a distribution site, located in Harrogate. The company supplies some of the top UK housebuilders, as well as local authorities, housing associations, private landlords and homeowners.
