Black Country has a good night at the Lord Stafford Awards - Innovative companies from the West Midlands have scooped top prizes in the tenth annual Lord Stafford Awards. Held at the NEC, the awards showcase the companies who have worked with universities and innovation programmes to develop new products or processes. By bringing together the wealth of excellent research and development work produced by Universities and diverse business enterprises, the awards seek to generate increased competitiveness and economic prosperity for the region.
The Enterprising Spirit Award was won by Rachel Westwood, Managing Director of Wolverhampton-based Skin Scientists Ltd. The 27-year-old set up Skin Scientists early last year to launch the Manceuticals brand which effectively mimics the actions of botox injections.
