The company received its award from Business Minister Matthew Hancock.
Two weeks ago the BDN website carried the story of how REALsafe had won the North-East regional heat of the competition, and urged readers to vote for the company to help it win the main prize.
REALSafe MD Zoe Farrington said: “We’re absolutely thrilled. Winning this award truly sets us apart from the competition in our field, and we hope we will inspire other small businesses everywhere to foster their success. We would strongly recommend any small business owner to visit www.greatbusiness.gov.uk to access the wealth of support and advice available from the Government to help your company grow.”
REALsafe® Technologies is a start-up business that launched a revolutionary safety-based app for motorcyclists in February 2013. The REALRIDER app lets motorcyclists track rides, record points of interest, and keeps them safe when they ride alone. It can automatically detect if a rider has had a crash and contacts the Emergency Service with their last known location and medical details.
REALsafe Technologies stood out to the judges as a classic business success story. The national judges commented that “it is a fantastically simple, yet innovative product that could save lives, and that now the only way is up for the business.”
REALsafe wins a bespoke creative advertising campaign worth £30,000, along with an iPad Air and complimentary unlimited BT Wi-Fi for 12 months, courtesy of BT Business. It also receives a package of export support from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI). UKTI works with UK businesses to help them succeed in international markets and supports the Business is GREAT Britain campaign, with the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS).
