Accu Named International Company of the Year at the Northern International Trade Awards 2025

Accu is proud to announce that we’ve been awarded International Company of the Year (£10m–£30m) at the Northern International Trade Awards 2025, hosted by Insider Media.

The awards ceremony was held on Thursday 4th December 2025 at the Concorde Conference Centre in Manchester, an iconic venue that celebrates one of the greatest feats of modern engineering. Set beneath the last remaining Concorde to fly, the venue provided a fitting backdrop for an evening recognising businesses pushing boundaries through innovation, precision and international ambition.

Recognising Excellence In International Trade

The International Company of the Year award recognises businesses that have demonstrated sustained international growth, successfully harnessing global trade opportunities. For Accu, this recognition reflects our continued expansion beyond the UK, delivering precision-engineered components to customers in over 125 countries worldwide, and supporting engineers, innovators and manufacturers at scale.

From our Huddersfield headquarters, Accu has built a digital-first, globally scalable supply model that prioritises speed, accuracy and clarity. By investing in localisation, technology and customer experience, we’ve transformed how engineers source precision components - wherever they’re based.

An Engineering Setting for an Engineering Business

Hosting the Northern International Trade Awards at the Concorde Conference Centre brought together past and present innovation. Concorde itself remains a symbol of precision engineering, technical ambition and international collaboration - values that strongly align with Accu’s own journey.

For a business built on enabling engineering progress, celebrating international success beneath one of the most advanced aircraft ever created was particularly meaningful.

Building on a Year of Recognition

This latest accolade builds on a standout year for Accu. In 2025 alone, we have been recognised with multiple major awards, including:

• International Business of the Year at the MY Chamber Business Awards 2025

• Business of the Month (February 2025) and Business of the Year (June 2025) by Eaton Smith Solicitors

Together, these awards highlight not only Accu’s international growth, but also our sustained investment in people, technology and community - locally and globally.

Driven by People, Powered by Technology

Accu’s success in international markets is driven by a combination of digital innovation and a people-first culture. Our bespoke e-commerce platform, in-house warehouse management systems and commitment to continuous improvement allow us to scale globally while maintaining the high standards our customers expect.

Behind this growth is TeamAccu - a dedicated, predominantly Huddersfield-based workforce supporting customers across time zones and industries, all aligned behind our mission to be the most loved shopping destination for engineers and innovators.

Looking Ahead

Winning International Company of the Year at the Northern International Trade Awards is both recognition and motivation. As Accu continues to expand its international footprint, including plans for a dedicated US distribution presence, we remain focused on enabling progress through precision, speed and reliability.

Guided by our “Building Tomorrow” ethos, Accu is proud to represent the North on the international stage - supporting engineers, innovators and trailblazers worldwide.
