Back in November 2005, we were very proud to receive an award for being one of the top 25 Midlands companies out of 2500 that have to date been supported by Mustard.uk.com / Business Links.

Enterprising Lichfield company secures ‘Champion’ approval A Lichfield-based company is looking to add its expertise to the new Mustard.uk.com ‘Champions of Enterprise’ movement, after being selected as part of the dynamic new group.

Espace Europe Ltd, a leading Midlands independent freight forwarder, received its award at the Ricoh Stadium in Coventry last week and was immediately praised for its ability to achieve strong growth, innovate the way it works and create new jobs.

The company will now become a ‘Champion’ for the West Midlands and contribute to promoting the region as a centre of enterprise excellence and a perfect place to start a new high growth business.

Kul Sanghera, Project Director of Mustard.uk.com, provided the insight:

“ We will look at harnessing the expertise and experience of the companies selected in providing mentoring support to aspiring entrepreneurs, working with young people at the ‘grassroots’ and even hosting best practice visits.

“Companies in Lichfield have a strong tradition for being amongst the most enterprising in the country and I’m delighted that Espace Europe will carry this mantle on.”

As part of the group, the selected firms will benefit from the best possible inter-trading opportunities, leadership courses and exclusive use of the ‘Champions’ logo.

“I am absolutely delighted to have been recognised as a ‘Champion of Enterprise’ and believe the award highlights the achievements of everyone connected with the business,” explained Tony Shally, Director of Espace Europe.

He continued: “Having already gone through the emotions and experiences of starting my own firm, it’s only right that you try and put something back to new and up coming entrepreneurs and this group is an excellent way of making a contribution.”
