Eclipse Colour have scooped the top prize at this years prestigious BPIF Excellence Awards.

Judges for the federation have voted Eclipse Colour as 'Company of the Year' for 2011 in the £5m plus turnover category.

Simon Moore collected the accolade on behalf of Eclipse Colour at the glitzy awards ceremony in London's revamped Café de Paris. The event saw everyone who is anyone from the world of print eagerly awaiting the results announced by comedian Mark Steel - doubly so for Eclipse Colour as they were the only commercial printer to have been shortlisted in two categories - both 'Company of the year' and 'Lean Manufacturing'.

'It was a real privilege to be named the company of the year by an organization like the BPIF and reflects what a great year we had in 2010' … said managing director Simon Moore…

'It will certainly give the whole team a real boost and will highlight to our customers that they really are dealing with an award-winning company'.

He also added…' I'd like to thank the BPIF for not only a fantastic evening but for the support they have given us through 'Vision in Print' in the process of continual business improvement.'
