SRT, the global provider of maritime tracking and monitoring technologies and turn-key system solutions, has won the main International Company of the Year award (up to 50M turnover) at Insider’s South West International Trade Awards 2016. The company stood out on a night that recognised the very best in South West overseas business success.

The judges said ‘this £10M turnover business has cracked open opportunities in Asia and we’re wowed by its new contract’. Graham Southern, the editor of South West Business Insider, said that the entries ‘show that South West companies can take on the best in the world - showcasing a wide variety of industry sectors and different ways of operating overseas – the theme, of course, is growth – not just growth in international sales but a growing proportion of company profits from exports’.

Maritime domain awareness market

Simon Tucker, CEO of Software Radio Technology plc, said, “We are delighted to receive this prestigious award amongst so much competition from other international companies. Right from the beginning SRT has recognised the massive opportunities in the large, fast growing economies of Asia, Middle East and Africa.”

He adds, “We have created one of the world’s leading hi-tech technology and product development teams who develop all our products from scratch here in the UK. This has enabled us to become a dominant player in the emerging global maritime domain awareness market which is independently forecast to be worth billions of pounds in the future.”
