ESF also recently received the Excellence in Exporting Award at the local Belfast Telegraph Business Awards.

Speaking about the company's success, ESF Managing Director, Alan Lowry said: "To be recognised at these esteemed awards in itself is an achievement but to walk away as winners in exporting and for the Stellar Solar Bench – the first product designed and manufactured by ESF - is incredible for our company."

Mr Lowry continued: "We have worked tirelessly to establish ESF in what is a competitive industry but gaining this recognition makes it all worthwhile for myself and the team. We look forward to building on our achievements and moving forward with the company."
