A HEALTH technology company based in Penryn has been recognised with a prestigious national business award.
Ultramed has been awarded The King’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation, one of 148 organisations nationally to be recognised.
The King’s Award for Enterprise is a celebration of successful and innovative businesses, that are leading the way with pioneering products and services – the award is held for five years.
Dr Paul Upton, CEO of Ultramed, said: "Since Ultramed first started in the Health & Wellbeing Innovation Centre nearly 10 years ago before moving to Tremough Innovation Centre, we’ve focused on growing the functionalities of our products through our gained knowledge, in line with technological advances.
"The impact of the global pandemic rocketed the demand for pioneering healthcare technology.
"The King’s Award bolsters our credibility in the industry, and it goes without saying that we are incredibly proud. We’ll be celebrating with the whole team, who’ve helped to build Ultramed into the business we are today!"
The King’s Awards for Enterprise was previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, and the name now reflects His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 57th year, is one of the most prestigious business awards in the country.
Ultramed was founded in 2014 by Dr Paul Upton and Alan Sanders at the Health & Wellbeing Innovation Centre in Truro.
Due to growth and expansion, the team relocated to the Tremough Innovation Centre.
