NORCROS BUSINESS TRITON
ACHIEVES A KING'S AWARD FOR ENTERPRISE
Norcros, the
market-leading designer and supplier of high quality bathroom and
kitchen products in the UK, European and South African
markets, is pleased to announce that
its business, market leader Triton Showers has today been honoured
with a King's Award for Enterprise in recognition of its
outstanding commitment to sustainable development.
Triton - which employs over 280
people at its Shepperton Business Park headquarters - is one of
only 29 select organisations to be recognised nationally within the
award's Sustainable Development category. Other categories include
International Trade, Innovation, and Promoting Opportunity (through
Social Mobility).
Triton, which has been part of
Norcros PLC since 1987, is a well-known UK manufacturer and market
leader in the electric shower segment. In 2019, the business reset
its vision, values, and company ethos to increase its environmental
and social focus. This included outlining ambitious targets for
reducing its carbon footprint, including achieving Net Zero by
2035.
This commitment to sustainability
has been central to Triton's business case, and its resonance with
customers has led the business to perform strongly, outperforming
the electric shower market. Triton now holds 54% of the UK's
electric showers market.
David Tutton, managing director at
Triton, commented: "Given our market-leading position, we believe
it is our responsibility to champion the water, energy, and carbon
saving benefits of showers at every opportunity. We are therefore
delighted to receive a King's Award for Excellence in Sustainable
Development, which is testament to the hard work of everyone within
our organisation who is contributing towards delivering
change."
First established in 1965, the
King's Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious awards for UK
businesses, celebrating the success of exciting and innovative
organisations that are leading the way with pioneering products or
services, delivering impressive social mobility programmes, or
showing their commitment to excellent sustainable development
practices. 2024 marks the second year of The King's Awards for
Enterprise, reflecting His Majesty The King's desire to continue
the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK
businesses.
