ELLIS Wins Large Business of the Year at the York Business Awards
Posted on 01 December 2025
Ellis Patents Ltd, the Yorkshire-based global leader in the design and manufacture of safety-critical cable cleats, is proud to announce that it has been named Large Business of the Year at the 2025 York Business Awards.
The award recognises organisations with exceptional financial performance, sustained growth, strong leadership, and a commitment to innovation and community responsibility. ELLIS stood out for its continued expansion in global markets, investment in automation and manufacturing capacity, and its unwavering commitment to its people and the environment.
Over the past three years, ELLIS has experienced significant international growth—particularly within the fast-evolving energy sector—supported by new strategic hires in marketing and international sales. Despite major operational investment, the company has retained and upskilled its 70-strong workforce, creating more skilled and diverse roles and maintaining a company-wide profit share scheme.
ELLIS was also praised for its strong sustainability achievements, having reduced its net zero score by 56% in the past year while continuing to reinvest in facilities, technology, and environmental improvements at its Yorkshire site.
Harry Taylor, Operations Director at ELLIS, said:
“We’re incredibly honoured to receive this award. It’s a true reflection of the dedication and expertise of our entire team. We’ve grown significantly in recent years, but we’ve done so responsibly investing in automation, expanding our global presence, and improving sustainability while supporting and developing our people. This award is for every member of the ELLIS team.”
Kelly Brown, Sales Director at ELLIS, added:
“Our products protect critical infrastructure across more than 50 countries, and this recognition underscores the strength of British manufacturing and the trust placed in ELLIS by customers around the world. We’re excited for the future and proud to represent Yorkshire on the global stage.”
ELLIS is headquartered in Rillington, North Yorkshire, and manufactures all products in the UK. The company supplies sectors including renewable energy, utilities, rail, data centres, and nuclear power, and is widely regarded as the world leader in cable cleat technology.
