The directors of Yorkshire-based security manufacturer, Heald Ltd, have been named in The Sunday Times annual Maserati 100 list.
2018 sees the fourth edition of the Maserati 100 which celebrates 100 innovators – those who have turned a big idea into a successful business and recognises the dedication of those entrepreneurs from start-ups to established businesses.
The hostile vehicle mitigation company secures some of the worlds’ most high-profile buildings and pedestrianised areas from vehicle attacks which included the London Olympics.
Heald, based in Hornsea, East Yorkshire, invests heavily in Intellectual Property to stand out from the competition, evidenced by ranking 8th overall in the Metis Partners IP 100 League for the third year in a row and winning a number of innovation awards for their sliding bollard product, the Matador.
Maserati was founded over 100 years ago by the Maserati brothers who were entrepreneurs, and very much innovators of their time. Now the brand continues with the same innovator mindset, and the annual definitive list of 100 British entrepreneurs looks to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of those likeminded British business leaders.
Commenting on the listing, Managing Director, Debbie Heald MBE said: “We are delighted to be listed amongst some of the UK’s finest innovators. Innovation is very much at the core of Heald’s values, so to have that recognised in The Sunday Times Maserati 100 list demonstrates that we’re excelling in that area”.
Previous recipients have included Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris, founders of Hotel Chocolat, John Caudwell, Phones4U and easyJet founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou.
The full list appeared in a four-page pull-out supplement which was published in the Business Section of The Sunday Times on Sunday 29th April.
