International industrial cleaning and waste management firm Sureclean has been recognised as one of Scotland’s leading environmentally conscious businesses.

Sureclean won the Process Award at the 2010 Vision in Business for the Environment of Scotland (VIBES) awards held recently in Glasgow. The Process Award recognises a business that has applied specific, innovative technologies, techniques or processes to promote more eco-efficient production.

John Barron, managing director of Sureclean, said: “It is a great achievement for Sureclean to be recognised for our commitment to environmental best practice and we are absolutely delighted to have won the Process Award for 2010.

“Winning this award will provide a huge boost to our workforce and further highlights our dedication to developing new solutions in order to protect natural resources, and to finding environmentally-sensitive and efficient treatments that really work”.

Keynote speaker at the event, Iain McMillan, director of CBI Scotland said: “We are blessed with a natural environment in Scotland and, as a nation we trade on its quality, so its continuing health is vital to sustainable economic growth. Companies are not just responding to environmental issues, but are leading the way in developing new products and services which will enable customers to reduce their own carbon footprint. The purpose of the VIBES Awards is to showcase these new developments and the companies responsible for them and these awards have a strong track record in attracting entrants from some of the most dynamic and forward thinking businesses in Scotland.”
