Witham Group wins multiple awards

Royal Warrant Holder, the Witham Group is celebrating after winning a series of different awards.

The company, which manufactures lubricants and distributes paints from its headquarters in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, and its other depots in Soham, Cambs and Lowestoft, Suffolk won awards for their exhibition stands at the county agricultural events recently. The Witham exhibition stand had a ‘Queens Green Canopy’ theme, which included an avenue of Alder trees, all tied with a royal purple ribbon. The trees were all planted up in Lincolnshire after the event. The exhibition stand featured, amongst its other displays, an area dedicated to the ‘Green Tractor Scheme’ – which promotes farm plastic waste collection and recycling throughout the UK.

Securing a hat-trick of triumphs at the Lincolnshire County Show, one of the Witham Group’s trophies was for the ‘New and Improved Innovation Award’ and was in recognition of its Witham ProLan range of environmentally sensitive lubricants.

Witham ProLan is an innovative, environmentally sensitive lubricant range that has been proven to protect and extend the life of agricultural plant, equipment, and machinery. Witham ProLan is manufactured using lanolin oil, derived from sheep’s wool and a blend of other natural oils. It is a powerful natural protector and offers a preventative shield which protects metal, wood, rubber and electrical components from moisture and corrosion without any petroleum-based chemicals. Non-toxic, food and water safe, Witham ProLan is a long lasting, high quality, environmental alternative to traditional protective lubricants.

The Witham Group also won ‘Business of the Year’ at the Lincolnshire Business Excellence Awards in the summer, finishing ahead of 200 other entrants. The company was recognised for its sustainability efforts. It is the first lubricant company to have a carbon neutral blending process, thanks to its new unique Ultrasound blending system which removes the need to use traditional gas and oil-fired boilers for heat energy, plus shortens the physical time to blend all material to a finished product.

Witham Group Managing Director, Nigel R Bottom, said:
