Glass packaging manufacturer Beatson Clark was crowned Company of the Year at the Glass Focus Awards in Manchester, hosted by British Glass last week.
The Rotherham-based business also won the Marketing Impact Award, and their HR Advisor Charlotte Lax won the Rising Star Award, completing a hattrick of prizes on the night.
The awards capped a hugely successful 2025 for Beatson Clark, a year in which the company has won no fewer than six industry awards.
The judges said: “This year’s winner has been a crucial part of key projects that benefit the whole glass sector. They have invested in their site to expand their offering to customers and extensively engaged with politicians, policy makers and their local community.

Eddie Pickering, Managing Director of Beatson Clark, said: “I could not be prouder to be part of this fantastic team. This wonderful accolade to be named Company of the Year is testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone at Beatson Clark.
“Congratulations also to our very own Rising Star, Charlotte Lax, who enjoyed a well deserved win at last night’s awards.
