Doncaster Chamber Business of the Year Award

This award went to an outstanding organisation that had best demonstrated excellence in delivering results through sound leadership, policy and strategy and people involvement using effective systems, delivering the needs and expectations of all stakeholders, customers and the community alike.

The award was presented to Don Valley Engineering Co. Ltd

Judging the award, Councillor Jonathan Wood, said: "The standard of entries for this category was truly outstanding and it is a reflection of the strength of enterprise across all sectors in Doncaster.

One of the most exciting features of Doncaster over the last few years has been its ability to redevelop and reinvent itself, resulting in new initiatives that are both relevant to today's world, whilst celebrating our heritage.

This year the winner of this award stood out from the other entries because they demonstrated exactly this ability to reinvent themselves, and once again become relevant and successful in an ever changing world.

Faced with fundamental changes in their core market, Don Valley Engineering Co. Ltd, has not only fought to survive, but has demonstrated real creativity. With careful planning and a committed team, they have rediscovered and indeed reinvented what they do well. They truly typify the spirit of regeneration that is Doncaster."
