We're proud to announce that we've been shortlisted as a finalist in the Manchester Evening News (MEN) Business Awards for 2018.
HPP has been selected in the £25-£50million turnover category, sponsored by law firm Hill Dickinson.
Our entry highlights our growth across sales, manufacturing, distribution, employment, investment and international trade.
Judges heard how we manufacture our own British-made products in Greater Manchester including Avanti stock doors, Glide sliding doors, our Aspects and Aspire kitchen & bedroom door collections, in addition to supplying products by leading European brands such as Egger, Kronospan and XyloCleaf to trade customers across the UK and Ireland.
HPP managing director Keith Wardrope said: "We are delighted to be shortlisted for the MEN Business of the Year Awards. Success would send out a positive message about our contribution to manufacturing, both regionally and nationally, as well as to our staff, customers and suppliers. It would recognise that whilst we've been quietly going about our business over the last few years, now is our time to shine.
Keith added: "Despite Brexit uncertainty, our business is going from strength-to-strength with a £2million investment programme, enhanced speed, efficiency and accuracy, state-of-the-art machinery and expanded carrier services across the entire UK.
"The quality of our staff is instrumental in our success. We've invested heavily in staff training along with customer support and online ordering, to create a one-stop-shop for our trade customers."
The ultimate winners of the MEN Business Awards will be announced on November 15th at Manchester's Principal Hotel. The ceremony will be hosted by TV news presenter Nicholas Owen.
Earlier this year, HPP was a finalist in the Insider business magazine's Made In The North West Awards for the Manufacturer of the Year (turnover over £25m) category.
