IWM is a success story because of the people who put their heart and soul into it and a Queen’s Award is the ultimate recompense for us all”.

Celebrating dedication and courage

The Lord Lieutenant, Mr Sabapathy added about the event: “It is always great to see small, family run businesses that take chances and forge their own destiny. 570% growth in the last three years alone is a great achievement and we are here to celebrate their dedication and courage in taking the business further. The private sector needs more companies like IWM and obviously, more leaders like Mr Hollier guiding them”, he finished.
