A WINNER at the Gazette’s Colchester Business Awards has seen record growth this year.
Mackman Group, which picked up a business-to-business award at Charter Hall last month, saw its figures soar by 60 per cent on last year, despite the economic downturn.
The company, which was set up in Colchester’s Dutch Quarter, celebrated the success alongside the completion of a research contract for Land Rover Monthly (LRM), an internationally-read magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts.
The firm’s research staff completed a satisfaction survey for the magazine after the LRM Show Billing, dubbed the Glastonbury of motor shows which is attended by thousands of enthusiasts from around the world.
The work involved getting feedback from 10,000 visitors to the show through an online survey, and telephone surveys of trade customers.
The company, now based in Sudbury, was praised for its “professional” approach for the work, which will help towards improving LRM Show Billing 2009.
Paul Mackman, business development director added: “Despite fears of a recession and thanks to the hard work of our team, we have had a great year.
“We are really proud of our achievements and are looking forward to 2009.”
