As part of the British Chambers of Commerce’s annual Chamber Business Awards 2024, a Chester firm has been chosen as the Digital Revolution Business of the Year.
The awards, now in their 21st year, are one of the showpieces of the business calendar, highlighting the role of firms in delivering growth, prosperity and innovation across the UK.
The Digital Revolution Award, supported by HPLIFE with Intel,recognises a business that has transformed the market that they operate in, or their product or service, by implementing cutting-edge technologies.
Cokebusters, a member of West Cheshire and North Wales Chamber of Commerce, won the award after impressing judges with their ‘unique technological solution to a unique challenge’.
Established in 2005, Cokebusters is a leading provider of advanced mechanical cleaning and pipeline inspection, helping the drive to cleaner and safer energy. The firm imagined, designed, built and successfully patented a single bodied intelligent pig tool which is now used around the world.
Award judge, Mander Thiara, Global Operations Program Manager at HP said:
“Cokebusters are demonstrating how innovative digital solutions can help tackle the huge environmental challenges the world faces. It’s great to see a UK manufacturing company leading the way in cutting global carbon emissions. The firm is clearly ambitious but rightly wants to keep its roots in Cheshire.”
Sarah Howard MBE, Chair of the British Chambers of Commerce said:
“Cokebusters is a great example of how the digital revolution is changing industries. With their world-first technologies like the patented ‘single-bodied intelligent pig,’ they’ve not only changed how refinery systems are maintained but also how crucial data is collected and used. This mix of cutting-edge tech and digital innovation makes Cokebusters a clear leader for the Digital Revolution Business of the Year.”
