Eliquo Hydrok was named Large Manufacturer of the Year at last week’s Cornwall Manufacturers Group Awards.

More than 200 guests attended the event, hosted at the Eden Project, with £2.3k rained for homeless charity, St Petrocs.

Jon Hurrell, CEO of the Cornwall Manufacturers Group, said: “Our awards are always very special and this year was no exception with an excelling class of candidates all vying for the podium position.

“Our award process is tough. Not only do companies and individuals have to put forward a written application, their sites are visited and they have to undertake interviews (albeit more remotely this year). Winning is no small feat and I congratulate them all and thank everyone and all our sponsors for their support.”
