A WINSFORD company is celebrating after being awarded a unique double in recognition of its successful and innovative products.

Colin Stewart Minchem (CSM), of Weaver Valley Road, won an award for international trade and one for innovation at the Queen's Awards for Enterprise.

CSM has transformed its business during the past five years with products focused on detergent formulations for a range of industries.

The company has expanded its overseas business to account for 77 per cent of a £27million turnover and believes the awards are the result of hard work by staff.

A spokesperson for CSM said: "It is a great honour for the company and a first in its history.

"To achieve a double award is a credit to the many individuals who have made outstanding contributions."
