A fast-growing Falmouth company that exports high-performance tricycles to 25 countries worldwide has been crowned the Duchy’s business of the year at the Cornwall Business Awards 2013.
Inspired Cycle Engineering received the coveted ‘Winner of Winners’ title at the climax of the eighth annual awards – organised by Cornwall Development Company in partnership with Business Cornwall magazine and the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce.
The company, which last year exported over £2 million worth of its innovative, recumbent ICE Trikes, claiming 15% of the competitive American market, was also named the county’s Best International Business.
The awards, held at St Mellion International, were presented by guest speaker David Bryon, former managing director of BMI Baby.
