Fighting off strong competition from a host of Midlands companies, Truflo took the award for all round excellent performance. The business underwent a rigorous independent assessment by judges, including a detailed presentation and a series of site visits to the company’s Aston headquarters. Judges based their decision on a range of criteria including leadership, overall business strategy, resources, people and processes.
