Norcros plc (LON:NXR), the market-leading designer and supplier of high quality bathroom and kitchen products in the UK, European and South African markets, has announced that its business, market leader Triton Showers has today been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of its outstanding commitment to sustainable development.
Triton – which employs over 280 people at its Shepperton Business Park headquarters – is one of only 29 select organisations to be recognised nationally within the award’s Sustainable Development category. Other categories include International Trade, Innovation, and Promoting Opportunity (through Social Mobility).
Triton, which has been part of Norcros PLC since 1987, is a well-known UK manufacturer and market leader in the electric shower segment. In 2019, the business reset its vision, values, and company ethos to increase its environmental and social focus. This included outlining ambitious targets for reducing its carbon footprint, including achieving Net Zero by 2035.
This commitment to sustainability has been central to Triton’s business case, and its resonance with customers has led the business to perform strongly, outperforming the electric shower market. Triton now holds 54% of the UK’s electric showers market.
David Tutton, managing director at Triton, commented: “Given our market-leading position, we believe it is our responsibility to champion the water, energy, and carbon saving benefits of showers at every opportunity. We are therefore delighted to receive a King’s Award for Excellence in Sustainable Development, which is testament to the hard work of everyone within our organisation who is contributing towards delivering change.”
First established in 1965, the King’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious awards for UK businesses, celebrating the success of exciting and innovative organisations that are leading the way with pioneering products or services, delivering impressive social mobility programmes, or showing their commitment to excellent sustainable development practices. 2024 marks the second year of The King’s Awards for Enterprise, reflecting His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses.
