Haslingden-based Solomon Commercials secured a prestigious industry award at the Temperature Controlled Storage and Distribution Conference (TCS&D) held this month.

The awards, held at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, recognise companies and individuals who have made a significant contribution to the industry.

Solomon Commercials won the refrigerated rigid of the year award, sponsored by Brightec, manufacturers of Blue Seal Air Curtains and was the seventh time the company has won the award.

The judging panel praised Solomon Commercials’ continual product innovation and raising industry standards. The panel also singled out the company’s dedication to continually exploiting aerodynamic technologies to improve fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle emissions.

Anthony Clegg, Solomon Commericals’ managing director, said, “It’s a great privilege to win the award for the seventh time, and we beat off some very tough competition in this category.

“Our business is focused on helping our clients move their goods and products from A to B quickly and efficiently. To do this, we need to exploit new technologies, and this award is a testament to our team, which is always looking to innovate our product in any way, shape or form.”
