EnviroVent wins Queen’s Award for Enterprise

EnviroVent is one of a handful of companies in the UK to be awarded a 2009 Queen’s Award for Innovation. EnviroVent was praised for its work developing and manufacturing the unique EnviroVent Filterless Extract Fan which has revolutionised the extractor fan market.

The philosophy behind the creation of the EnviroVent Filterless Extract Fan was to design a ‘fan for life - not for landfill’. One hundred per cent recyclable, it has been designed to last as long as the building it is installed in and uses a fraction of the energy expended by a traditional fan.

Nick Heaton, managing director of EnviroVent

“We are all incredibly proud of achieving this renowned award as years of work have gone into building the success of the EnviroVent Filterless Extract Fan and our other innovative, sustainable Lifetime Range® products. The Queen’s Award will undoubtedly add commercial value to our company and give us an advantage over our competitors. 2009 was already proving to be a good year and this accolade will help us with our expansion into new markets.”

Nick Heaton, Managing Director and his wife, Donna visited Buckingham Palace on Monday 13th July 2009. They then attended a special evening reception for 2009 Queen’s Award winners, hosted by Her Majesty The Queen and other members of the Royal Family.



EnviroVent also received a Royal visit on 25th September 2009 when the Colonel York visited the firm’s premises at Hornbeam Business Park, to present the company with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for its outstanding business success.

At the presentation ceremony, EnviroVent were presented with a crystal bowl engraved with The Queen’s Awards Emblem as a symbol of its success.
