John Reid & Son Ltd (REIDsteel) has been named as a finalist for the Solent 250 International Business of the Year title.
The Solent 250 lists the top private companies in the Solent and South Central region.
We will find out if we have claimed the International Business of the Year honour at the annual Solent 250 dinner and awards ceremony on April 2.
Our managing director Simon Boyd said: “The Solent 250 includes some of the region’s most successful and high-profile businesses.
“It is a tremendous honour to be shortlisted as an awards finalist among such company.
“We’ve exported to more than 140 countries to date, and this year celebrate our one-hundredth anniversary.
“Winning this award would be the icing on the cake in our centenary year.”
