HFT wins award

The Association of Welding Distributors (AWD) announced the winners of their ‘Welding World Awards’ on Wednesday 13th April, at a gala dinner, held at the Hilton Metropole Birmingham. 

In the second award of the night and in the category of ‘Best New Welding Product Supplier’, HFT® was announced to be the winner and the Company’s CEO, Georgia Gascoyne and Luke Keane who provides Distributor Support received the award from The Rt Hon Michael Portillo, broadcaster and former Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.

There were ten finalists in the group for this Award including Esab, EWM, Polysoude and Rapid Welding.

Georgia said: “I had faced the judging panel at the start of the year in order to deliver a presentation about the Company and our products, the prominent topic being their PurgEye® Weld Purge Monitor® which has evolved over the 40 years that HFT® has been in business and continues to be the oxygen monitor of choice for welders Worldwide. In fact, I was able to show the panel an original first model of the Argweld® Weld Purge Monitor® from the 70’s.â€?

The dinner was timed to coincide with the MACH Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham, UK where many of the dining guests were displaying their products in the Welding Village section.

HFT® are delighted to have won the award and would once again like to thank everyone who voted for them.
