Cambridge based business, Delta-T Devices, a co-operative business specialising in instruments for environmental science, has been honoured with a national Co-operative Award.

The business, which was founded in 1971, received a Co-operative Award 2010 in recognition of its innovation and excellent work.

David Button, Chair of Co-operatives UK, which organised the awards, said: “Delta-T Devices is one of those co-operatives that shows the variety of different co-operatives across the UK.

“When some people think of co-operatives they think of food stores and funeral services but co-operatives exist across a wide range of sectors and Delta-T Devices has excelled in its sector.”

Commenting on the co-operative’s success, Chris Nicholl, Chair of the Management Committee of Delta-T Devices, said: “We are delighted to have been given this award.

“Everyone in the co-operative has worked hard to get us to where we are and they share it its success. This award gives us even more determination to continue in our success.”

Delta-T and five other co-operatives received their award at a special Gala Dinner in Plymouth recently - part of Co-operatives Fortnight.

Delta-T is part of a thriving co-operative economy. Latest figures from Co-operatives UK reveal that there are some 4,992 co-operative businesses in the UK with a combined turnover of some £34 billion.
