BCC and Microsoft announce the national winner of the Microsoft Awards for Impact of Technology on your Business

CVD Fire Protection has been announced as one of two joint winners of the National British Chambers of Commerce  Chamber Awards for Impact of Technology on your Business sponsored by Microsoft. 

CVD Fire Protection (a provider of fire stopping and fire barrier systems) is a member of the Lanarkshire Chamber of Commerce and won the award for companies with less than 50 employees.  It was chosen because the judges were impressed with both the ambition and effectiveness of the company�s technology use.  Its systems were designed to grow with the company and revolutionise the company�s ability to manage its finances, improve customer service and empower staff.

Robert Epstein, head of small business sales and marketing, Microsoft UK said: �As organisations grow, the adoption of technology becomes a pre-requisite for success.  For small and medium businesses, the decision to step up to a more sophisticated IT environment can be an enormous step.  CVD Fire Protection has significantly impacted their financial success as a direct result of their IT system.  They�ve invested heavily in a system that has allowed them to reduce costs whilst improving flexibility, efficiency and communication with staff and customers.  This has allowed management to focus on driving the business forward by developing their people and most profitable customers.�
