Having won the North East Business Awards Northumberland & Tyneside regional heats back in March; we went head-to-head with our fellow regional finalists Walker Filtration and Dormor Machine & Engineering for the grand final award. We were thrilled to walk away with the trophy against two other very well-established North East companies.

Melanie Thompson-Glen, Business Development Manager at Gateshead College and NEBA 2019 judge, commented:

“The judges were very impressed by the culture within Universal Wolf. Following their recent rebrand, the team have created an environment in which everyone understands both the company vision and the part that each individual plays in delivering this. The pride that they show in their work and their constant drive for improvement means that they are constantly challenging the status quo; which in turn benefits their customers.”

It was a double victory for the wolf pack at the awards. Alongside the Manufacturing Award, we also took home the coveted ‘Company of the Year’ award as Tharsus Group, alongside our sister company Tharsus.
