NORCROS BUSINESS TRITON ACHIEVES A KING'S AWARD FOR ENTERPRISE

 

Norcros, the market-leading designer and supplier of high quality bathroom and
kitchen products in the UK, European and South African markets, is pleased to
announce that its business, market leader Triton Showers has today been
honoured with a King's Award for Enterprise in recognition of its outstanding
commitment to sustainable development.

 

Triton - which employs over 280 people at its Shepperton Business Park
headquarters - is one of only 29 select organisations to be recognised
nationally within the award's Sustainable Development category. Other
categories include International Trade, Innovation, and Promoting Opportunity
(through Social Mobility).

 

Triton, which has been part of Norcros PLC since 1987, is a well-known UK
manufacturer and market leader in the electric shower segment. In 2019, the
business reset its vision, values, and company ethos to increase its
environmental and social focus. This included outlining ambitious targets for
reducing its carbon footprint, including achieving Net Zero by 2035.

 

This commitment to sustainability has been central to Triton's business case,
and its resonance with customers has led the business to perform strongly,
outperforming the electric shower market. Triton now holds 54% of the UK's
electric showers market.

 

David Tutton, managing director at Triton, commented: "Given our
market-leading position, we believe it is our responsibility to champion the
water, energy, and carbon saving benefits of showers at every opportunity. We
are therefore delighted to receive a King's Award for Excellence in
Sustainable Development, which is testament to the hard work of everyone
within our organisation who is contributing towards delivering change."

 

First established in 1965, the King's Awards for Enterprise are the most
prestigious awards for UK businesses, celebrating the success of exciting and
innovative organisations that are leading the way with pioneering products or
services, delivering impressive social mobility programmes, or showing their
commitment to excellent sustainable development practices. 2024 marks the
second year of The King's Awards for Enterprise, reflecting His Majesty The
King's desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising
outstanding UK businesses.
