Award winners

The London-based software firm which counts the EU, UK and US as its biggest sales markets, was recognised as an exemplary model in international exporting in what has been an exceptionally challenging year for the global economy. Led by CEO and co-founder Benjamin Puncher, CORE was applauded for growing an impressively steep 67 percent increase in international sales over three consecutive years, up from just six percent in 2017. Overseas turnover also increased by 1,695 percent in the three-year period.

Mr Puncher commented: “Over almost three decades CORE has delivered innovative supply chain management and visibility solutions to an extensive list of organizations across a range of industries. We are proud to call some of the world’s biggest retailers long standing clients including Primark, M&S and Argos. We’re absolutely delighted to receive the highly sought after Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade and feel proud of our consistent growth which was achieved through our continual commitment in demonstrating the benefits of a digitized supply chain to new and existing clients.”
