The winners of the SoGlos Gloucestershire Business Awards 2022 have been revealed at a showcase event celebrating the county’s very best companies, teams and individuals.
ALS Mechatronic Wins Gloucestershire’s International Business of the Year 2022
More than 300 guests gathered for the invitation-only evening at the University of Gloucestershire’s Business School at its Oxstalls campus in Gloucester for the awards ceremony and networking on Thursday 20 October 2022, made possible by co-headline sponsors Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors.
Just to have made the shortlist from 382 entries was a feat in itself according to the judges, who also had the no less difficult task of choosing the winners, revealed on the night by compere, BBC presenter and reporter Steve Knibbs.
James Fyrne, managing director and co-founder of SoGlos, said: ‘When we launched these awards we wanted them to be special; to capture the dynamic spirit of the Gloucestershire business community; to create a unique platform on which to celebrate their many achievements.
Michelle Fyrne, group editor and co-founder of SoGlos, said: ‘When you look at what the county – and nation – has been through in recent years, taking this time to step back and reflect of what these businesses, teams and individuals have achieved is so important – you just can’t help but be inspired.’

Laura Steward, chief operating officer of Cheltenham engineering firm ALS Mechatronic, which specialises in bespoke factory automation and control systems, robotics, and vision inspection equipment, said: ‘I think we can’t quite believe this. It is a real vote of confidence for us. We have a really, really good team who make all this happen, so this is for them.’
