Champions of Collaboration
Infrastructure solutions business px has celebrated
a national award success on the back of turnover
increasing to almost £200m.
Stockton-based px provides innovative operations
management, engineering services and energy
management solutions to partners in high hazard,
highly regulated industries.
The company, which also owns and operates Saltend
Chemicals Park on the Humber estuary, received the
Energy Industries Council (EIC) Collaboration Award
ahead of competitors Wood and Lionweld Kennedy.
px was commended for its work in reducing costs and
increasing efficiency for its partners at the major sites it
manages across the country.
The Collaboration Award judges specifically focused on
companies who have demonstrated how partnerships
can enhance efficiencies, reduce costs and enable new
technologies and business development strategies to
flourish.
Mark Kenrick, CEO of px, said the awards win was
“tremendous recognition” for work the px team had put
in alongside its partners and clients to support them in
their success.
He said this commitment to excellence had helped
deliver “incredible growth” for px, with turnover
increasing from around £10m in 2001 to now be closer
to £200m.
px also recently broke into the Sunday Times Grant
Thornton Fast Track 250, a league table of the UK’s top
performing private mid-market companies in terms of
sales growth.
Kenrick said: “We are delighted to have received the
EIC award. It reinforces our belief that the collaborative
way in which we operate the assets under our control
brings significant benefits to all parties involved - from
asset owners and service and infrastructure customers
through to our employees and shareholders.
“Our partners see the performance of their assets
improve significantly as we drive down costs,
while improving efficiency and delivering a better
financial return, without compromising safety and
environmental standards.
“Successful collaboration with clients has driven
our ability to take on more work, win new business
and take on more contracts, which has enabled
us to continue to grow – something we have done
significantly over the past 17 years.”
EIC CEO Stuart Broadley added: “px has proven that
working collaboratively can make a real difference
to project costs and efficiencies. Its work with the St
Fergus Gas Terminal operator in Aberdeen, for example,
has led to a world class level of availability and
delivered reliability at over 99.9%.”
It’s our people that make the difference
