A LANCING company has received recognition from the government as a leading UK innovator following the publication of The Parliamentary Review.
The annual review – published by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport – showcases businesses that demonstrate best practice at every level of industry and features a foreword by the Prime Minister.
Flare Audio Ltd founder Davies Roberts describes in the review how since launching in 2010, the company has developed a revolutionary new type of loudspeaker and earphone technology for professional and consumer use, providing a previously unheard level of audio clarity.
The company sold more than 200,000 of its ear protectors last year, has raised more than £2 million via crowdfunding, and has grown its workforce from six to 27 in five years.
Mr Roberts said: “It was an absolute pleasure to have been involved with The Parliamentary Review of 2017 and I would like to thank everyone who nominated Flare to be included in the publication this year.
“Our vision at Flare is to become a global force in sound technology and it was very encouraging to have been recognised at such an early stage of our growth.”
The Parliamentary Review is a series of independent publications which aim to share best practice among policy makers and business leaders across the UK.
Flare Audio Limited features alongside the Prime Minister and a small number of outstanding organisations. More than half a million copies are distributed.
The PM’s former cabinet colleague, Sir Eric Pickles, chairman of the review, said: “It has never been more important for government to hear the views of business and the public sector in a constructive forum. It is also a vital time to share best practice and progress.”
The Parliamentary Review’s director Daniel Yossman said: “Flare Audio and other hardworking organisations from across the country have come together to make the Review possible.”
