Bedford based Cartridge Depot are gold winners in The Green Award category at the SME Luton & Bedfordshire Business Awards 2020/21.
The company believes that this award represents that the business has and is reducing or removing the harmful impact that products and/or services have on the environment. In their case it shows how hard they have worked to help save all the empty cartridges that go through their doors from ending up in landfill, instead they are sent away for recycling.
On the night they were also finalists in this year’s Positive Impact award which represented how businesses have changed the products or services they produced to benefit a crisis.
The awards ceremony took place on 29 June 2021 at the Bedford Corn Exchange.
Business Partner Guy Ciampa said: “It was a surreal experience, not only for the fact of being finalists and winning, but also just to be out at a venue sitting at a table and meeting new people and businesses, this is something that many of us are not used to anymore after such a tough year for everyone! It was great to see so many businesses there, especially after so many businesses have struggled through the pandemic and it was nice to have a positive feel in the air when talking to business owners.”
As Gold winners in The Green Award category at the SME Luton & Bedfordshire Business Awards 2020/21, this automatically puts them in the finals of the same category at SME National Business Awards 2020/21 which will be held at Wembley on 28 July 2021.
Business Partner Vincenza Ciampa said: “We will have our fingers crossed for this, we can’t believe that a small family run independent business like us has made it to the National awards final!” We are so grateful for all the recognition we have had showing the work we put in to running our business. As always we would like to thank all of our customers and people that have supported us over the years, without your help and support a business like ours would not have survived!”
